Hubble – GHRS [1] 1995: First star with a resolved image outside the Solar System. Sheliak β Lyr Aa 0.46: 6: 960 ± 50: CHARA array – MIRC [25] 2007: Both Aa1 and Aa2 are visible in the animation. θ 1 Ori C: 0.2: 10.6 ± 1.5: 1400: Very Large Telescope – AMBER [26] 2009: In the image, the right inset is θ 1 Ori C and the left inset is ...
By using gravitational lensing is also a very useful tool which contributes significant new results in areas as different as the cosmological distance scale, dark matter in halos and galaxy structures. [7] According to the Hubble image of PGC 1470080, it is shown to be a peculiar lenticular galaxy rather than an elliptical galaxy as expected. [2]
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.
MACS J0416.1-2403 or MACS0416 abbreviated, is a cluster of galaxies at a redshift of z=0.397 with a mass 160 trillion times the mass of the Sun inside 200 kpc (650 kly).Its mass extends out to a radius of 950 kpc (3,100 kly) and was measured as 1.15 × 10 15 solar masses. [2]
NASA recently released images of the Andromeda galaxy, an empire of stars, that is the Milky Way galaxy's closest neighbor. This photo shows the Milky Way as seen from Black Balsam, mountain range ...
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 ...
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 ...
Least massive galaxy Segue 2 ~550,000 M Sun: This is not considered a star cluster, as it is held together by the gravitational effects of dark matter rather than just the mutual attraction of the constituent stars, gas and black holes. [141] [142] Most massive galaxy ESO 146-IG 005 ~30×10 12 M Sun: Central galaxy in Abell 3827, 1.4 Gly ...
