Supernumerary Rainbows over New Jersey Source: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap221127.html #ainbow #supernumeraryainbow #rinbos #sky nature #eather #photgraphy #cience #hysics#ligh #wave #intererence #huricane #forence jersey #nejerse #apod #asronomy #astrophotography

A supernumerary rainbow, with five distinct bands, arcing over a house in New Jersey, after the remnants of Hurricane Florence passed through the region in 2018. Supernumerary rainbows appear when sunlight interferes as it passes through water droplets of similar size. The effect is evidence of light's wave nature.

Fire on Earth Source: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap001121.html #fire #wldfire#earth #forstfire nature #envionment #photgraphy #ecsystem #ontana #bitterroovally #elk #wldlife #srvival oxyge #life#space #asronomy #planet

Two elk stand in a shallow river, their backs to the viewer, while a fire rages behind them in a forest. The fire is so intense that the flames can be seen from space. This image shows how fire can be both a destructive and a natural part of the Earth's ecosystem. The fire is visible from space and is a sign of life on Earth, as fire is a result of oxygen. This image highlights the power of nature, even in its most destructive form.

A bright comet is moving into the evening skies. C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) has brightened and even though it is now easily visible to the unaided eye, it is so near to the Sun that it is still difficult to see. Pictured, Comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS was captured just before sunrise from an Andes Mountain in Peru. Braving cold weather, this unusually high perch gave the astrophotographer such a low eastern horizon that the comet was obvious in the pre-dawn sky. Visible in the featured image is not only an impressively long dust tail extending over many degrees, but an impressively long and blue ion tail, too.

Composite image of the active galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A), showing its radio lobes and a hidden barred spiral galaxy. The spiral galaxy is fueling the central black hole of Cen A, creating the radio lobes. The image highlights the intricate cosmic dance of these two galaxies, their intertwined fate as a cosmic symbiosis.
