2024年2月18日 Hoag’s Object: A Nearly Perfect Ring Galaxy Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble; Processing: Benoit Blanco Explanation: Is this one galaxy or two? This question came to light in 1950 when astronomer Arthur Hoag chanced upon this unusual extragalactic object. On the outside is a ring dominated by bright blue stars, while near the center lies a ba...
2024年2月4日 The Cone Nebula from Hubble Image Credit: Hubble Legacy Archive, NASA, ESA – Processing & Licence: Judy Schmidt Explanation: Stars are forming in the gigantic dust pillar called the Cone Nebula. Cones, pillars, and majestic flowing shapes abound in stellar nurseries where natal clouds of gas and dust are buffeted by energetic winds from n...
2023年10月24日 Arp 87: Merging Galaxies from Hubble Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble; Processing: Harshwardhan Pathak Explanation: This dance is to the death. As these two large galaxies duel, a cosmic bridge of stars, gas, and dust currently stretches over 75,000 light-years and joins them. The bridge itself is strong evidence that these two immense star system...
NGC 685占据了舞台的中心位置,在墨黑的背景上闪烁着微弱的恒星。这个星系显然是一个棒旋星系,它有明亮的中心棒和斑驳弯曲的旋臂。它距离我们大约5,800万光年,位于波江座。NGC 685位于天赤道以南,在一年中的某些时候从南半球可以看到。
这张NASA哈勃太空望远镜的新照片的前景是几片亮粉色和几缕暗红色。NGC 5068是一个棒旋星系,有数千个恒星形成区域和大量星际尘埃。
2023年10月6日 Edwin Hubble Discovers the Universe Image Credit & Copyright: Courtesy Carnegie Institution for Science Explanation: How big is our universe? This question, among others, was debated by two leading astronomers in 1920 in what has since become known as astronomy’s Great Debate. Many astronomers then believed that our Milky Way Galaxy was...
2023年1月30日 Globular Star Cluster NGC 6355 from Hubble Image Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, E. Noyola, R. Cohen Explanation: Globular clusters once ruled the Milky Way. Back in the old days, back when our Galaxy first formed, perhaps thousands of globular clusters roamed our Galaxy. Today, there are less than 200 left. Over the eons, many globular clusters w...
2023年1月23日 The Colliding Spiral Galaxies of Arp 274 Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble; Processing & Copyright: Mehmet Hakan Özsaraç Explanation: Two galaxies are squaring off in Virgo and here are the latest pictures. When two galaxies collide, the stars that compose them usually do not. This is because galaxies are mostly empty space and, however bright,...
