NGC 2445 is characterised by its distorted shape and star formation which is the result of the collision with another galaxy, NGC 2444. NGC 2444 has pulled gas away from NGC 2445 and as a result a bridge of young blue stars has formed between the two galaxies that gives the latter a triangular shape. [3]
Hubble's latest image share is a good one for fans of cosmic razzle-dazzle.You're seeing NGC 6717, a globular cluster that forms a piece of the constellation Sagittarius. But where it appears to ...
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.
The team nicknamed the star system Mothra due to its extreme magnification and brightness. Surprisingly, Mothra has appeared before, detected in Hubble observations nine years ago.
One of these is a young and very distant group beyond Puppis OB2, while another, nearer group with later-type stars lies at a similar distance as Puppis OB1. [8] The region is dominated by a massive young star, HD 64315 (annotated in Commons, below and left of center), of spectral type O6. Two stellar clusters also exist in the area, Haffner 19 ...
When our sun dies about 5 billion years from now it might look something like this glowing celestial display which was captured from 4,600 light-years away. Hubble image of a star exploding may ...
Hubble image of a field of galaxies with high redshift (z = 7.7). [1]The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) is the largest project in the history of the Hubble Space Telescope, with 902 assigned orbits (about 60 continuous days [2]) of observing time.
One supernova has been observed in NGC 2444/5, SN 2016bam. The supernova occurred between the two galaxies, about 3.5 arcseconds away from a HII region of NGC 2445. [4] It was a type II supernova which had magnitude 16.1 at discovery. [5] NGC 2445 and NGC 2444 (which lies about one arcminute away) form a pair, known as Arp 143.
