Messier 74 (also known as NGC 628 and Phantom Galaxy) is a large spiral galaxy in the equatorial constellation Pisces. [ a ] It is about 32 million light-years away from Earth. [ 6 ] The galaxy contains two clearly defined spiral arms and is therefore used as an archetypal example of a grand design spiral galaxy . [ 7 ]
New photos released Monday by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) provide an in-depth look at the Phantom Galaxy, more formally known as M74, located around 32 million light-years away from ...
An MeerKAT image of the Galactic Center showing a number of filaments Radio image of a number of parallel filaments in the Galactic Center; Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way's central black hole, is located in the bright region in the bottom right [1] [2] Nonthermal radio filaments from the 4'' resolution MeerKAT mosaic; oriented vertically for space; scales given assuming a distance of 8.2 kpc
Image title: Nestled within this field of bright foreground stars lies ESO 495-21, a tiny galaxy with a big heart. ESO 495-21 is just 3000 light-years across, a fraction of the size of the Milky Way, but that is not stopping the galaxy from furiously forming huge numbers of stars.
On Monday, NASA scientists unveiled a new photo taken by Webb of M74, a spiral galaxy 32 million light-years away, composed of about 100 billion stars.Its gargantuan spiral arms are an incredible ...
Astronomers have released an image of the Milky Way that maps some of the largest structures in the galaxy, including nebulas and the galactic center. Gorgeous new Milky Way image maps our galaxy ...
The Galactic Center, as seen by one of the 2MASS infrared telescopes, is located in the bright upper left portion of the image. Marked location of the Galactic Center A starchart of the night sky towards the Galactic Center. The Galactic Center is the barycenter of the Milky Way and a corresponding point on the rotational axis of the galaxy.
SN 2003gd was a Type II-P supernova explosion in the Phantom Galaxy, located in the constellation Pisces.SN 2003gd was discovered on 12 June 2003 by Robert Evans, using a 0.31m reflector, and its discovery was confirmed on 13 June 2003 by R. H. McNaught using the 1.0m telescope at the Siding Spring Observatory.
