Sharing the Hubble image of the week, the European Space Agency also made a small warning about misconceptions caused by the image.
Somewhat behind the scenes with the production of the James Webb Telescope Hubble Telescope, still maintains its functionality and allows us to obtain information about the depths of space. While doing this, we often witness him capturing fascinating images. Mostly in these images galaxies It is located.
European Space Agency (ESA)Hubble photo of the weekThe last image he shared does not stray far from this. Because in the image in question, spiral-shaped galaxies reveal their uniqueness with their different appearances. Of course, these are not just random galaxies. Let’s take a look together at what’s where.
As soon as we look, our eyes are drawn to the beauty on the right.
This spiral galaxy NGC 1356 It is known by its name. We met him in 1837 thanks to British Astronomer John Herschel. While the tiny spiral we see just above is LEDA 467699, we see the galaxy LEDA 95415 on the left. The galaxy on the far left, which seems to have escaped from the others, is IC 1947. This quartet diversifies the frame by distinguishing itself from each other both in size and in color.
When we look at the background, we see a bright star and different galaxies located further away. Of course, based on what you see in this frame, you may think that these galaxies are very close to each other. there will be a mistake.
For example, although the giant NGC 1356 on the right and LEDA 95415 on the left appear very close to each other, they are almost 300 million light-years apart. ESA notes that when you look at it from a 3D perspective, NGC 1356 and IC 1947 on the far left of the canvas are more visible than the others. is closer states.
