"(And The) Pictures in the Sky" is a song by the British band, Medicine Head. It was written by band member, John Fiddler. [1] The first hit single for Medicine Head, it was released in 1971 and entered the UK Singles Chart in June, reaching number 22 in July. [2] [3]
Little red dots (LRDs) are a class of small, red-tinted galaxies discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope. [1] [2] [3] Their discovery was published in March 2024, and they are currently poorly understood. [4] They appear to have existed between 0.6 and 1.6 billion years after the Big Bang, from 13.2 to 12.2 billion years ago. [1] LRDs were ...
NGC 2566 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Puppis.Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1898 ± 19 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 91.3 ± 6.5 Mly (28.00 ± 1.98 Mpc). [1]
The galaxy's strange morphology is generally recognized as the result of a merger between two smaller galaxies. [34] Zoom movie of the galaxy Centaurus A, showing different aspects of the galaxy in several wavelengths. Schematic diagram of the components of the Centaurus A galaxy. The bulge of this galaxy is composed mainly of evolved red stars ...
HD1 is one of the earliest and most distant known galaxies yet identified in the observable universe, having a spectroscopic redshift of z = 13.27, meaning that the light from the galaxy travelled for 13.5 billion years on its way to Earth, which due to the expansion of the universe, corresponds to a proper distance of approximately 33.4 billion light-years (10.2 billion parsecs).
The following is a list of stars with resolved images, that is, stars whose images have been resolved beyond a point source. Aside from the Sun , observed from Earth , stars are exceedingly small in apparent size, requiring the use of special high-resolution equipment and techniques to image.
As one of the brightest galaxies in the sky, the Sculptor Galaxy can be seen through binoculars and is near the star Beta Ceti. It is considered one of the most easily viewed galaxies in the sky after the Andromeda Galaxy. [5] [8] The Sculptor Galaxy is a good target for observation with a telescope with a 300 mm diameter or larger. [8]
NGC 891 looks as the Milky Way would look like when viewed edge-on (some astronomers have even noted how similar to NGC 891 our galaxy looks as seen from the Southern Hemisphere [9]) and, in fact, both galaxies are considered very similar in terms of luminosity and size; [10] studies of the dynamics of its molecular hydrogen have also proven the likely presence of a central bar.
