星系团Abell 370及后方的天体
2023年9月12日 Galaxy Cluster Abell 370 and Beyond Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Jennifer Lotz and the HFF Team (STScI) Explanation: Some 4 billion light-years away, massive galaxy cluster Abell 370 is captured in this sharp Hubble Space Telescope snapshot. The cluster of galaxies only appears to be dominated by two giant elliptical galaxies and infested with faint a...
韦伯的首张深场影像
2023年7月15日 Webb’s First Deep Field Image Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, NIRCam Explanation: This stunning infrared image was released one year ago as the James Webb Space Telescope began its exploration of the cosmos. The view of the early Universe toward the southern constellation Volans was achieved in 12.5 hours of exposure with Webb’s NIRCam ...
潘朵拉星系团
2023年6月9日 Pandora’s Cluster of Galaxies Image Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, Ivo Labbe (Swinburne), Rachel Bezanson (University of Pittsburgh), Processing: Alyssa Pagan (STScI) Explanation: This deep field mosaicked image presents a stunning view of galaxy cluster Abell 2744 from the James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam. Also dubbed Pandora’s Clust...
韦伯的首张深场影像
2022年7月13日 Webb’s First Deep Field Image Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, NIRCam Explanation: This is the deepest, sharpest infrared image of the cosmos so far. The view of the early Universe toward the southern constellation Volans was achieved in 12.5 hours of exposure with the NIRCam instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope. Of course the stars wi...
熔融星系的爱因斯坦环
2022年7月5日 A Molten Galaxy Einstein Ring Image Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, S. Jha; Processing: Jonathan Lodge Explanation: It is difficult to hide a galaxy behind a cluster of galaxies. The closer cluster’s gravity will act like a huge lens, pulling images of the distant galaxy around the sides and greatly distorting them. This is just the case obse...
重力的笑容
2022年5月11日 Gravity’s Grin Image Credit: X-ray – NASA / CXC / J. Irwin et al. ; Optical – NASA/STScI Explanation: Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, published over 100 years ago, predicted the phenomenon of gravitational lensing. And that’s what gives these distant galaxies such a whimsical appearance, seen through t...
NGC 3314：当星系重叠时
2021年11月17日 NGC 3314: When Galaxies Overlap Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble; Processing & Copyright: William Ostling (The Astronomy Enthusiast) Explanation: Why doesn’t the nearby galaxy create a gravitational lensing effect on the background galaxy? It does, but since both galaxies are so nearby, the angular shift is much smaller than the angular...
安魂曲超新星：目前为止已见到3次的超新星
2021年11月02日 SN Requiem: A Supernova Seen Three Times So Far Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble; Data: S. A. Rodney (U. South Carolina) et al.; Image Processing: J. DePasquale (STScI) Explanation: We’ve seen this same supernova three times — when will we see it a fourth? When a distant star explodes in a supernova, we’re lucky if we see it even...
爱因斯坦的引力透镜十字架
2021年10月17日 The Einstein Cross Gravitational Lens Image Credit & License: J. Rhoads (Arizona State U.) et al., WIYN, AURA, NOIRLab, NSF Explanation: Most galaxies have a single nucleus — does this galaxy have four? The strange answer leads astronomers to conclude that the nucleus of the surrounding galaxy is not even visible in this image. The cen...
