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.
Insider went through the archives of three NASA observatories — JWST, Hubble, and Chandra X-ray — to find the most iconic pictures of space.
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 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 ...
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.
In 2024, two older and more distant galaxies, JADES-GS-z14-0 and JADES-GS-z14-1, were found. [ 6 ] JADES-GS-z13-0 is located in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey – South (GOODS-S) field in the constellation Fornax , which includes the Hubble Ultra Deep Field .
In 1961, Allan Sandage wrote in the Hubble Atlas of Galaxies that the Sculptor Galaxy is "the prototype example of a special subgroup of Sc systems....photographic images of galaxies of the group are dominated by the dust pattern. Dust lanes and patches of great complexity are scattered throughout the surface. Spiral arms are often difficult to ...
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 ...
