NGC 3631 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major. It is located at a distance of about 35 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 3631 is about 60,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel on April 14, 1789. [2] It is a grand design spiral galaxy seen face on.
Galaxy Zoo is a project aiming at a more comprehensive list: launched in July 2007, it has classified over one million galaxy images from The Sloan Digital Sky Survey, The Hubble Space Telescope and the Cosmic Assembly Near-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey. [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 ...
The nebula's temperature is measured at 1 K (−272.15 °C; −457.87 °F) making it the coolest natural place currently known in the Universe. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The Boomerang Nebula is believed to be a star system evolving toward the planetary nebula phase.
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 ...
SMACS J0723.3–7327, commonly referred to as SMACS 0723, is a galaxy cluster about 4 billion light years from Earth, [2] within the southern constellation of Volans (RA/Dec = 110.8375, −73.4391667).
As of 2024, NGC 5468 is the most distant galaxy in which Hubble Space Telescope has detected Cepheid variable stars, which are important milepost markers for measuring distances. [6] NGC 5468 forms a non-interacting pair with NGC 5472, which lies at a projected distance of 5.1 arcminutes. NGC 5468 belongs to the NGC 5493 galaxy group.
