A dark field is filled with stars and galaxies. A large spiral galaxy appears on the upper left. Toward the right, there is a smaller fuzzy patch that is a comet with a short tail. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.
一片黑暗的星空中布满了恒星和星系。左上方出现一个巨大的螺旋星系，向右侧望去，有一个较小的模糊斑点，那是一颗彗尾较短的彗星。有关更多详细信息，请参阅说明。

Miller (Gemini Observatory/NOIRLab), M. Zamani & D. de Martin Explanation: Peculiar spiral galaxy Arp 78 is found within the boundaries of the head strong constellation Aries. Some 100 million light-years beyond the stars and nebulae of our Milky Way galaxy, the island universe is over 100,000 light-years across. Also known as NGC 772, it sports a prominent, outer spiral arm in this detailed cosmic portrait from the large Gemini North telescope near the summit of Maunakea, Hawaii, planet Earth. Tracking along sweeping dust lanes and lined with young blue star clusters, Arp 78’s spiral arm is likely pumped-up…
2020年9月18日 Arp 78: Peculiar Galaxy in Aries Image Credit & Copyright: Bernard Miller Explanation: (xxxedit and linkxxx) Peculiar spiral galaxy Arp 78 is found within the boundaries of the head strong constellation Aries, some 100 million light-years beyond the stars and nebulae of our Milky Way galaxy. Also known as NGC 772, the island universe is over 100,000 light-years across and sports a single prominent outer spiral arm in this detailed cosmic portrait. Its brightest companion galaxy, compact NGC 770, is toward the upper right of the larger spiral. NGC 770’s fuzzy, elliptical appearance contrasts nicely with a spiky foreground Milky Way star in matching yellowish hues. Tracking along sweeping dust lanes and lined with young blue star clusters, Arp 78’s large spiral arm is…
