  1. Chandra is studying a cluster in Tucana! Nearby in the sky is the brilliant NGC 346, a star cluster within an emission nebula. One of the largest regions of star formation in the Small Magellanic Cloud, the is home to over 65,000 stars! ✨

    Goodnight & farewell to our fellow great observatory ! Today, in just a few hours, Spitzer goes dark. But for the past 16 years it has helped shine such a (infrared) light on our Universe. Some favorite Spitzer-Chandra-Hubble+ data sets:

  6. Supernova remnant SNR 0104 contains a large amount of iron, so it was likely formed by an explosion of a white dwarf and not by the collapse of a . The asymmetrical shape is unusual for such a — it might be caused by jets in the explosion or clumps of nearby gas!
