UDFj-39546284 is a high-redshift Lyman-break galaxy discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope in infrared Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (HUDF) observations in 2009. The object, located in the Fornax constellation, was identified by G. Illingworth (UC Santa Cruz), R. Bouwens (UC Santa Cruz and Leiden University) and the HUDF09 Team during 2009 and 2010.
This makes it the coldest place in the Universe found so far, besides laboratory-created temperatures. Even the 2.7 K background glow from the Big Bang is warmer than the nebula. It is the only naturally occurring object found so far that has a temperature lower than the background radiation. [6]
The system was discovered [3] in images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope during the Massive Cluster Survey, MACS. [4] This cluster causes gravitational lensing of distant galaxies producing multiple images. [5] [6] Based on the distribution of the multiple image copies, scientists have been able to deduce and map the distribution of dark matter.
New imagery has been released from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which captured a photo of a spiral galaxy more than 76 million light-years away from Earth. The galaxy known to observers as NGC ...
Zooming In on the Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Gigapixels of Andromeda, is a 2015 composite photograph of the Andromeda Galaxy produced by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is 1.5 billion pixels in size, and is the largest image ever taken by the telescope. [1] At the time of its release to the public, the image was one of the largest ever ...
Photos taken by the Webb telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument, or MIRI, reveals a new texture in the galaxy's outer ring and details the dust along the ring. Such dust is an "essential building ...
Messier 63 or M63, also known as NGC 5055 or the seldom-used Sunflower Galaxy, [6] is a spiral galaxy in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici with approximately 400 billion stars. [7] M63 was first discovered by the French astronomer Pierre Méchain , then later verified by his colleague Charles Messier on 14 June 1779. [ 6 ]
Details of galactic dust and stars captured by telescope offer a picture to astronomers of the early universe
