Spiral galaxy NGC 4414 captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.
A rare and astonishing image of a grand spiral galaxy was captured using an advanced telescope. Astronomy lovers would enjoy seeing the photos.
Astronomers have been on a quest to unlock the wonder of our galaxies. Space explorations give researchers an idea of how galaxies and other planets exist. Using advanced tools and technologies, they provide the best images.
In a new image, the European Southern Observatory explained that the image is becoming the week's picture. According to the report, ESO presented detailed and well-defined arms of the NGC 4254 (spiral galaxy).
The report noted that it is also known as the Coma Pinwheel or Messier 99.
The European Southern Observatory said that the image was a grand design of a spiral galaxy showing the pinwheel shape with arms.
Furthermore, what is amazing about the new technologies, especially in space explorations, is that they present a sense of observing galaxies from Earth.
Meanwhile, Newsweek reported that the press release explained that it showed blue and purple tones of the galaxy from the Very Large Telescope (VLT). Meanwhile, red and orange colors were from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. With the data available, the report pointed out that it helps astronomers better understand the stars and their environments.
On the other hand, James Webb Telescope also captured the best images. The nature of galaxies is not yet understood. The help of advanced technologies and telescopes could unlock the secrets and mysteries of galaxies
Meanwhile, Newsweek reported that Juan Carlos Munoz-Mateos of the European Southern Observatory explained that the images would help understand stars and their evolution.
Cat Loaf Rock on Mars
Recently, NASA also found an image resembling a cat loaf rock relaxing in a comfortable position. The image was captured in the Jezero Crater using NASA's advanced cameras.
The cute image of a cat-looking rock became NASA's week photo, making it viral online. The mission of the Perseverance Rover is to collect data samples that would be helpful in understanding Mars. With space explorations, NASA managed to have a closer view of the planet and samples important to unlock the mystery of potential ancient life on the said planet.
A stellar nursery in the Orion Nebula
In previous reports, the James Webb Telescope captured a rare image of a stellar nursery in the Orion Nebula. According to the report, it could unveil the birth of stars, helping scientists or astronomers to look beyond the stars.
Amazingly, the image shows a breathtaking structure inside the nebula and protostar with noticeable dust and gas.
Capturing the said image was difficult as it required advanced technology to picture the best spotlight. The report noted the difficulty of stardust which could affect the quality of the image. However, the James Webb Telescope managed to detect infrared light, allowing them to observe beyond the large dust cloud's layers.
James Webb Telescope has been important in providing full-color images, helping astronomers study the galaxies.
