This is Pleiades aka messier 45; an open star cluster with hot B-type stars within the constellation Taurus. It’s one of the closest star clusters to Earth and easiest to spot in the sky with your eyes. Most of these stars are hot blue ans luminous stars formed within the past 100 million years. It’s only expected to last for the next 250 million years before the stars disperse

The Porpoise galaxy, aka The penguin and the egg
What's happening to this spiral galaxy? Just a few hundred million years ago, NGC 2936, the upper of the two large galaxies shown, was likely a normal spiral galaxy -- spinning, creating stars -- and minding its own business. But then it got too close to the massive elliptical galaxy NGC 2937 below and took a dive. Dubbed the Porpoise Galaxy for its iconic shape, NGC 2936 is not only being deflected but also being distorted by the close gravitational interaction. A burst of young blue stars forms the nose of the porpoise toward the right of the upper galaxy, while the center of the spiral appears as an eye. Alternatively, the galaxy pair, together known as Arp 142, look to some like a penguin protecting an egg. Either way, intricate dark dust lanes and bright blue star streams trail the troubled galaxy to the lower right. The featured re-processed image showing Arp 142 in unprecedented detail was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope last year. Arp 142 lies about 300 million light years away toward the constellation, coincidently, of the Water Snake (Hydra). In a billion years or so the two galaxies will likely merge into one larger galaxy.

Usually when galaxies crash, star formation is confined to galaxy disks or tidal tails. In Arp 194, though, there are bright knots of young stars right in a connecting bridge. Analyses of images and data including the featured image of Arp 194 from Hubble, as well as computer simulations of the interaction, indicate that the bottom galaxy passed right through the top galaxy within the past 100 million years. The result has left a stream of gas that is now falling toward the bottom galaxy. Astronomers hypothesize that stars form in this bridge because of the recent fading of turbulence after the rapid collision. In about a billion years, the galaxies -- including a smaller galaxy superposed on the upper galaxy (see it?) -- will all merge into one larger galaxy.

This Galaxy Needs A Name! it’s just called NGC 2841 ✨ a giant spiral galaxy similar to the andromeda galaxy. It has a really big ring structure within the constellation Ursa Major. It’s about 46 million light years away and it’s home to a large population of young blue stars. The galaxy itself is around 100,000 light years wide.
Send me a dm if you have any questions about space or this galaxy in particular
