Featured in this new image from the @nasa/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is a nearly edge-on view of the lenticular galaxy NGC 4753. These galaxies have an elliptical shape and ill-defined spiral arms. This image is the object's sharpest view to date, showcasing Hubble’s incredible resolving power and ability to reveal complex dust structures. NGC 4753 resides around 60 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo and was first discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1784. It is a member of the NGC 4753 Group of galaxies within the Virgo II Cloud, which comprises roughly 100 galaxies and galaxy clusters.

XRISM’s first test images show a cluster of galaxies and a supernova remnant – the husk left behind when a massive star explodes. What’s more, XRISM has measured the energy of incoming X-rays from the supernova remnant to reveal the chemical elements contained within it. The observations showcase the extraordinary capability of XRISM’s two science instruments. They were made during the mission’s ‘commissioning phase’ – when engineers carry out all the tests and checks needed to make sure the spacecraft is working as well as possible.

From the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, Arp 107 comprises a pair of galaxies in the midst of a collision. The larger galaxy is an extremely energetic galaxy; it houses an active galactic nuclei and its spiraling whorls are readily visible. The smaller companion is connected to the larger by a tenuous-seeming ‘bridge’, composed of dust and gas. Image: ESA/Hubble & NASA, J. Dalcanton; CC BY 4.0

The galaxy merger Arp-Madore 417-391 steals the spotlight in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, taking on a spooky face appearance for Halloween! This peculiar galaxy lies around 670 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus in the southern celestial hemisphere, and is the result of a galactic collision.

Arp-Madore 2105-332 is a system that lies about 200 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Microscopium. This system belongs to the Arp-Madore catalogue of peculiar galaxies. The wonderful quality of this image also reveals several further galaxies, not associated with this system but fortuitously positioned in such a way that they appear to be forming a line that approaches the bottom (in this image) component of Arp-Madore 2105-332, which is known individually as 2MASX J21080752-3

A dynamic duo … or trio?
This striking image captures the interacting galaxy pair known as Arp-Madore 2339-661, so named because they belong to the Arp-Madore catalogue of peculiar galaxies. However, this particular peculiarity might be even odder than first meets the eye, as there are in fact three galaxies interacting here, not just two.

Like a shiny, round ornament ready to be placed in the perfect spot on the holiday tree, supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A) gleams in a new image from the James Webb Space Telescope. However, this scene is no proverbial silent night – all is not calm.
