Click through the gallery to see this week’s helping of images not made on planet Earth. And if you need more when you’re done but can’t wait until the next one, here’s last week’s installment.
Space Photos of the Week: We've Got a Chamaeleon Complex
Space photos of the week, October 25-31.
This is a photo of the star system DI Cha. It’s a quadruple system containing two sets of binary stars, but in the photo only two stars are apparent, shining through a ring of cascading dust. It’s part of the Chamaeleon I dark cloud --- one of three such clouds that comprise a large star-forming region known as the Chamaeleon Complex.<a href="http://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/goddard/hubble-view-smoke-ring-for-a-halo/">ESA/Hubble & NASA, Acknowledgement: Judy Schmidt</a>
