Webb's First Deep Field was taken by the telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and is a composite produced from images at different wavelengths, totalling 12.5 hours of exposure time. [3] [4] SMACS 0723 is a galaxy cluster visible from Earth's Southern Hemisphere, [5] and has often been examined by Hubble and other telescopes in search of ...
UGC 2885 (Rubin's Galaxy, [10] nicknamed "Godzilla galaxy" [11]) is a large barred spiral galaxy of type SA(rs)c in the constellation Perseus.It is 232 million light-years (71 Mpc) from Earth and measures 463,000 ly (142,000 pc) across, making it one of the largest known spiral galaxies.
It possesses a diffuse core which is the largest core of any galaxy known to date, [5] and contains a supermassive black hole, one of the largest discovered. [5] IC 1101 is located at 354.0 megaparsecs (1.15 billion light-years) from Earth. It was discovered on 19 June 1790, by the German-British astronomer William Herschel. [6]
The James Webb Space Telescope captured images of 19 spiral galaxies in near- and mid-infrared light. - NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Janice Lee (STScI), Thomas Williams (Oxford), PHANGS Team
Astronomers used the combined powers of the Hubble and Webb telescopes to take a portrait of colliding clusters of galaxies, called the Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster.
The Hubble telescope captures the brightest galaxies ever seen, thousands of galaxies act like lenses that magnify light, making them appear super bright. Hubble Telescope reveals new discovery of ...
In its 17 years of exploring the heavens, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has made nearly 800,000 observations and snapped nearly 500,000 images of more than 25,000 celestial objects. Hubble does not travel to stars, planets and galaxies. It takes pictures of them as it whirls around Earth at 17,500 miles an hour.
The most powerful telescope to be launched into space has made history by detecting a record number of new stars in a distant galaxy. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, history's largest and most ...
