San Francisco from Mount Diablo, which, amazingly, is only about 50 km away. In 850 nm near-infrared, sampling about 70 cm/px in the full size. https://www.flickr.com/photos/midendian/54513163868/

The Surface of #Venus from Venera 14

Venera 14's 1982 Venus landing revealed a bleak landscape with flat rocks and a dull sky in Phoebe Regio. The Soviet probe, enduring extreme heat and pressure, functioned for an hour. Decades later, data suggests Venus may have active volcanoes.

Full moon rising - infrared/monochrome.

As seen in the mountains of southern New Mexico.

In near-IR the blue sky is rather dark, and trees/vegetation are almost white. Near-IR cuts through the haze, so the moon looks almost as if there is no atmosphere. (The trees are about 1/4 mile, 400 meters away...so they are slightly out of focus, but the moon is sharp.)

Camera is a modified Sony a6300, 400mm lens, 850 nanometers long pass IR filter. Image slightly cropped from entire frame.

An infrared #caturday.

The Orion #Nebula in Visible and #Infrared

The Orion Nebula, visible to the naked eye, is a vibrant mix of young stars, hot gas, and dust. This image combines visible and infrared light from Spitzer #Telescope, revealing shock waves and the Trapezium's bright stars. Spanning 40 light-years, it's 1500 light-years away in our #Galaxy's spiral arm.

Planetary #Nebula NGC 1514 from #Webb

When a star like the Sun dies, it forms a white dwarf and expels its outer layers as a planetary nebula. NGC 1514's chaotic bubbles in visible light form an hourglass shape in #infrared from JWST, hinting at a cylindrical structure seen diagonally with a binary system at its core.

The Galactic Center in Radio from MeerKAT

MeerKAT's radio image reveals the Milky Way's center, including Sgr A with its supermassive black hole. The vast 2-degree view details many celestial features, while JWST's inset probes star formation and magnetic fields. Optical telescopes can't see this due to dust.

HH 49: Interstellar Jet from #Webb

James Webb's #infrared image reveals a Herbig-Haro jet (HH 49) from a forming star system, with glowing shock waves. At the jet's tip lies a distant spiral #galaxy, its blue core and circular rings visible behind the interstellar outflow.
