NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a breathtaking image of the spiral galaxy NGC 2566. Astronomers use detailed Hubble images to study star clusters and active star-forming regions.
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 ...
32nd anniversary image - April 2022 – The Image shows an unusual close-knit collection of five galaxies, called The Hickson Compact Group 40. Three spiral-shaped galaxies, an elliptical galaxy, and a lenticular (lens-like) galaxy, these different galaxies crossed paths in their evolution to create an exceptionally crowded and eclectic galaxy sampler.
The unusual spiral morphology of BX442 was discovered using images obtained from the Hubble Space Telescope by a team of astronomers led by David R. Law of the University of Toronto. While the Hubble image suggested the galaxy's spiral structure however, it didn't conclusively prove that the galaxy rotated like modern-day spiral galaxies.
In this zoomed-in detail of the Hubble image of Abell 370, the host galaxy where the 44 stars were discovered appears several times: in a normal image (left), and a distorted image appearing as a ...
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope was actually the first to observe Firefly Sparkle within the galaxy cluster known as MACS J1423, but Webb was able to see it in greater detail, finding seven ...
Size (left) and distance (right) of a few well-known galaxies put to scale. The following is a list of notable galaxies.. There are about 51 galaxies in the Local Group (see list of nearest galaxies for a complete list), on the order of 100,000 in the Local Supercluster, and an estimated 100 billion in all of the observable universe.
The Hubble Space Telescope captured a brilliant image of spiral galaxy NGC 3254, which has a particularly luminescent and active core emitting as much energy as the rest of the galaxy combined ...
