Hubble Space Telescope
A group of galaxies is locked in a dance of destruction. Called Seyfert's Sextet, this galactic vista was captured by Hubble in its 13th year. The galaxies are so tightly packed together that gravitational forces are beginning to rip stars from them and distort their shapes. Those same gravitational forces eventually could bring the galaxies together to form one large galaxy. Seyfert's Sextet isn't a super accurate nickname, though. Rather than six, only four galaxies are actually on the dance card. The small face-on spiral with the prominent arms (at center) is a background galaxy almost five times farther away than the other four. The sixth member of the sextet isn't a galaxy at all but a long "tidal tail" of stars (lower right) torn from one of the galaxies. The group resides 190 million light-years away in the constellation Serpens. We're sharing one outstanding image from each year of Hubble’s mission to celebrate its upcoming 35th birthday – counting down to a new series of anniversary images! Stay tuned for more, and get caught up at the link in our bio! Image description: A group of galaxies shines against black space. The lower galaxies are hazy yellow, with a spiral galaxy above them. To that spiral's upper left are another hazy yellow galaxy and an edge-on spiral galaxy. Against the black background of space, more distant galaxies shine, along with some foreground stars.

Mads Peter Iversen Photography
One photo from a landscape photography travel destination followed by one photo from Denmark my home country. Once it clicked and I figured I could probably get something along the same lines as what I’ve captured out there in world, whether it’s the same conditions, same subject, same technique or same composition, it became soooo much more fun to shoot at home. It really did change my photography forever! No we still don’t have mountains, epic waterfalls, cracking glaciers, puffins, whales and big deserts, but we have so many other things. Check out my latest video on YouTube where I teach you to photograph locally. AND if you want to dig even further into local landscape photography be sure to get me and @nigel.danson course on Mastering Local Landscape Photography.In this 4+ hour and 13 video course we’ll be teaching you how to find great locations, how to use them optimally, what strategies to use to optimise your chance of getting great photos, what to do on location, how to compose, edit and print what you capture, what apps to use and much more! This ENTIRE course can be yours for only $99! Check it out via the link in my bio 🤓
