Cette nouvelle version des premières images de Webb concernant le Quintette de Stephan* combinent ses données infrarouges avec les rayons X collectés par l'observatoire à rayons X Chandra de la NASA, soulignant à quel point la puissance de l'un de ces télescopes n'est améliorée que lorsqu'il est associé à d'autres.
Le Quintette de Stephan*, regroupement visuel de cinq galaxies (NGC 7317, NGC 7318a, NGC 7318b, NGC 7319 et NGC 7320) dans la constellation de Pégase (Pegasus), est une énorme mosaïque (la plus grande image de Webb à ce jour, couvrant environ un cinquième du diamètre de la Lune avec plus de 150 millions de pixels et près de 1 000 fichiers image distincts) où les interactions galactiques ont probablement entraîné l'évolution des galaxies dans l'univers primitif. Des amas étincelants de millions de jeunes étoiles et des régions d'éclatement d'étoiles fraîches ornent l'image. Des queues balayées de gaz, de poussière et d'étoiles sont extraites de plusieurs galaxies en raison d'interactions gravitationnelles. Plus spectaculaire encore, Webb capture d'énormes ondes de choc alors que l'une des galaxies, NGC 7318b, traverse l'amas (cf. NASA et merci pour la photo).
*Édouard Stephan (1837-1923) est l'astronome français qui a observé pour la première fois ce quintette en 1878, en utilisant le terme de nébuleuses, personne n'imaginant alors qu'il s'agissait en réalité de galaxies, constituées de milliards d'étoiles et situées en dehors de la Voie lactée. Mais il meurt un an jour pour jour avant qu'Edwin Hubble en apporte la preuve en 1924 (cf. wikipédia).

It wouldn't be a Sunday out photographing without a 42A allocation raising some eyebrows, and this weekend produced another cracker!
It's nice to see a Solo out on a different route that isn't the Cheadle Circular, so the 42A is the perfect excuse for Stockport depot. It's just a shame this specific vehicle hasn't received the updated non-COVID destination set, but can't win them all!
Seen here at the Millgate Lane terminus in East Didsbury on Sunday morning is Optare Solo 47649 heading back to Reddish.
An enormous mosaic of Stephan’s Quintet is the largest image to date from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, covering about one-fifth of the Moon’s diameter. It contains over 150 million pixels and is constructed from almost 1,000 separate image files. The visual grouping of five galaxies was captured by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI).
With its powerful, infrared vision and extremely high spatial resolution, Webb shows never-before-seen details in this galaxy group. Sparkling clusters of millions of young stars and starburst regions of fresh star birth grace the image. Sweeping tails of gas, dust and stars are being pulled from several of the galaxies due to gravitational interactions. Most dramatically, Webb’s MIRI instrument captures huge shock waves as one of the galaxies, NGC 7318B, smashes through the cluster. These regions surrounding the central pair of galaxies are shown in the colours red and gold.
This composite NIRCam-MIRI image uses two of the three MIRI filters to best show and differentiate the hot dust and structure within the galaxy. MIRI sees a distinct difference in colour between the dust in the galaxies versus the shock waves between the interacting galaxies. The image processing specialists at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore opted to highlight that difference by giving MIRI data the distinct yellow and orange colours, in contrast to the blue and white colours assigned to stars at NIRCam’s wavelengths.
Together, the five galaxies of Stephan’s Quintet are also known as the Hickson Compact Group 92 (HCG 92). Although called a “quintet,” only four of the galaxies are truly close together and caught up in a cosmic dance. The fifth and leftmost galaxy, called NGC 7320, is well in the foreground compared with the other four. NGC 7320 resides 40 million light-years from Earth, while the other four galaxies (NGC 7317, NGC 7318A, NGC 7318B, and NGC 7319) are about 290 million light-years away. This is still fairly close in cosmic terms, compared with more distant galaxies billions of light-years away. Studying these relatively nearby galaxies helps scientists better understand structures seen in a much more distant universe.
This proximity provides astronomers a ringside seat for witnessing the merging of and interactions between galaxies that are so crucial to all of galaxy evolution. Rarely do scientists see in so much exquisite detail how interacting galaxies trigger star formation in each other, and how the gas in these galaxies is being disturbed. Stephan’s Quintet is a fantastic “laboratory” for studying these processes fundamental to all galaxies.
Tight groups like this may have been more common in the early universe when their superheated, infalling material may have fueled very energetic black holes called quasars. Even today, the topmost galaxy in the group – NGC 7319 – harbours an active galactic nucleus, a supermassive black hole that is actively accreting material.
In NGC 7320, the leftmost and closest galaxy in the visual grouping, NIRCam was remarkably able to resolve individual stars and even the galaxy’s bright core. Old, dying stars that are producing dust clearly stand out as red points with NIRCam.
The new information from Webb provides invaluable insights into how galactic interactions may have driven galaxy evolution in the early universe.
As a bonus, NIRCam and MIRI revealed a vast sea of many thousands of distant background galaxies reminiscent of Hubble’s Deep Fields.
NIRCam was built by a team at the University of Arizona and Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Technology Center.
MIRI was contributed by ESA and NASA, with the instrument designed and built by a consortium of nationally funded European Institutes (The MIRI European Consortium) in partnership with JPL and the University of Arizona.

This bear is known in Glacier National Park as Panda; If you saw her you would say she is one of the most beautiful bears you have ever seen. She is only three years old and has raised herself for the last year or so by herself, what happened to her mother is unknown. She travels alone and tries to make friends with other bears unsuccessfully, as a result she is often seen near people, this is a concern to the park.
I've heard it rumored that she may be put down out of fear that she "could" be a threat. To kill Panda would be more than a crime as we would lose one of the true treasures of our national parks.
HCG 92, also known as Stephan's Quintet, is a compact group of galaxies located in the constellation Pegasus.
I imaged this group of very small galaxies from a Bortle 4 zone, and made sure to frame my shot so that a much larger object, NGC 7331would also be visible in the final image!
Stephan's Quintet is a visual group of five galaxies that appear to be very close to each other. Scientists confirmed that at least four out of the five objects are so close to one another that they are interacting. These four members (HCG 92) are bound by gravity and will merge into one large galaxy in several million years. As for the fifth galaxy visible, it only appears to be close to the group but is actually much, much closer to Earth (39 million light years) than the other four (260-340 million light years).

With its powerful, mid-infrared vision, MIRI shows never-before-seen details of Stephan’s Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies. MIRI pierced through dust-enshrouded regions to reveal huge shock waves and tidal tails, gas and stars stripped from the outer regions of the galaxies by interactions. It also unveiled hidden areas of star formation. The new information from MIRI provides invaluable insights into how galactic interactions may have driven galaxy evolution in the early universe.
This image contains one more MIRI filter than was used in the NIRCam-MIRI composite picture. The image processing specialists at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore opted to use all three MIRI filters and the colours red, green and blue to most clearly differentiate the galaxy features from each other and the shock waves between the galaxies.
In this image, red denotes dusty, star-forming regions, as well as extremely distant, early galaxies and galaxies enshrouded in thick dust. Blue point sources show stars or star clusters without dust. Diffuse areas of blue indicate dust that has a significant amount of large hydrocarbon molecules. For small background galaxies scattered throughout the image, the green and yellow colours represent more distant, earlier galaxies that are rich in these hydrocarbons as well.
Stephan’s Quintet’s topmost galaxy – NGC 7319 – harbours a supermassive black hole 24 million times the mass of the Sun. It is actively accreting material and puts out light energy equivalent to 40 billion Suns. MIRI sees through the dust surrounding this black hole to unveil the strikingly bright active galactic nucleus.
As a bonus, the deep mid-infrared sensitivity of MIRI revealed a sea of previously unresolved background galaxies reminiscent of Hubble’s Deep Fields.

This new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows four of the seven members of galaxy group HCG 16. This quartet is composed of (from left to right) NGC 839, NGC 838, NGC 835, and NGC 833 — four of the seven galaxies that make up the entire group. They shine brightly with their glowing golden centres and wispy tails of gas, set against a background dotted with much more distant galaxies. This new image uses observations from Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 combined with data from the ESO Multi-Mode Instrument, installed on the European Southern Observatory's New Technology Telescope in Chile.

I was walking with some friends in my neighborhood and I could tell that they were getting impatient with me so often stopping to take a photo of "nothing" so I told them to go on ahead and I would catch up later. To me it wasn't nothing it was everything and I can never pass that up.

Stephan’s Quintet is a visual grouping of five galaxies located in the constellation Pegasus. Together, they are also known as the Hickson Compact Group 92 (HCG 92). Although called a “quintet,” only four of the galaxies are truly close together and caught up in a cosmic dance. The fifth and leftmost galaxy, called NGC 7320, is well in the foreground compared with the other four.
Tight groups like this may have been more common in the early universe when their superheated, infalling material may have fueled very energetic black holes called quasars. Even today, the topmost galaxy in the group – NGC 7319 – harbours an active galactic nucleus, a supermassive black hole 24 million times the mass of the Sun. It is actively accreting material and puts out light energy equivalent to 40 billion Suns.
Scientists using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope studied the active galactic nucleus in great detail with the Medium-Resolution Spectrometer (MRS), which is part of the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). The spectrometer features integral field units (IFUs) – a combination of a camera and spectrograph. These IFUs provided the Webb team with a “data cube,” or collection of images of the galactic core’s spectral features.
Using IFUs, scientists can measure spatial structures, determine the velocity of those structures, and get a full range of spectral data. Much like medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the IFUs allow scientists to “slice and dice” the information into many images for detailed study.
MIRI’s MRS pierced through the shroud of dust near the active galactic nucleus to measure the bright emission from hot gas being ionised by powerful winds and radiation from the black hole. The instrument saw the gas near the supermassive black hole in wavelengths never studied before in so much detail, and it was able to determine its velocity.
Some of these key emission features are shown in this image. In each case, the blue-colored regions indicate movement toward the viewer and orange-colored regions represent movement away from the viewer. The argon and neon lines are from hot spots of superheated gas that is highly ionised by the powerful radiation and winds from the supermassive black hole. The molecular hydrogen line is from colder dense gas in the central regions of the galaxy and entrained in the outflowing wind. The velocities are measured by shifts in the wavelengths of a given emission line feature.
MIRI was contributed by ESA and NASA, with the instrument designed and built by a consortium of nationally funded European Institutes (The MIRI European Consortium) in partnership with JPL and the University of Arizona.
