This is the pre – holiday a selection of images.
The Atlantic magazine published the pre-selection of photos received by the spacecraft Hubble Space Telescope. Moon with a mirror diameter of 2.4 meters, has allowed scientists to look into the depths of the Universe and to obtain high-quality images of celestial objects, including stars, planets, nebulae and galaxies.
Using “Hubble” even far from science people to see the processes of birth and death of stars, their shining remains of the collision of galaxies, structures on a universal scale and phenomena arising from the curvature of space and time. “Ribbon.ru” shows that he saw in the darkness of space the watchful eye of the telescope.
Bubble, also called NGC 7635 is an emission nebula located in eight thousand light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia. The bubble created by the stellar wind, which emanates from massive stars, located in the centre of the nebula.
Part of the open star cluster in the eagle Nebula (NGC 6611), which is located 6,500 light years from Earth. It was formed 5.5 million years ago and contains small accumulations of gas and dust that absorb light from the stars.
Giant galaxy NGC 7049 is located 100 million light-years from Earth, in the constellation of Indian. Its diameter is about 150 thousand light years. Dust clouds are illuminated by millions of stars located in the halo of the galaxy.
Emission nebula Sh2-106 is located two thousand light years from Earth. It is a compact region of star formation. At its centre is the star S106 IR, which is surrounded by dust and hydrogen in the pictures he painted in the conventional blue.
The giant galaxy cluster Abell 2744, also called Pandora’s cluster. It was formed as a result of the simultaneous collision of at least four separate, smaller galaxy clusters that took place over 350 million years.
The Carina nebula or NGC 3372, contains globules — dark gas-dust nebula, consisting of molecular hydrogen, helium, carbon monoxide and silicon. The edge of the globules, called a Caterpillar, ionized by the radiation of hot stars.
Spiral arms in the galaxy NGC 1566, located in the constellation, the Golden Fish, at the distance of 40 million light years from Earth. This galaxy is part of a group of galaxies, which is one of the largest in the southern hemisphere sky.
IRAS 14568-6304 is a young star located 2,500 light years from Earth, is a part of the Circinus dark cloud whose mass is 250 thousand times the mass of the Sun. Star spews remaining after the formation of the gas and dust, which reach supersonic speeds.
R136 is a compact star cluster located in the tarantula nebula, which, in turn, is located in the Large Magellanic cloud. Cluster of young stars, giants and supergiants, whose age is estimated at approximately 2 million years.
NGC 7714 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces, a hundred million light-years from Earth. In its form it is possible to notice the signs merge with the neighboring galaxy NGC 7715.
Planetary nebula, the Red Spider is removed from the Earth three thousand light-years. It contains a hot white dwarf stellar wind which creates waves with a length of 100 billion kilometers.
The Horse Head nebula, or Barnard 33 in the infrared spectrum. Its diameter is 3.5 light years. Image allows you to see the inner region of the nebula that are not visible in visible light. The cloud is located 1,300 light years from Earth.
Spiral galaxy NGC 1433 is 32 million light years from Earth. It refers to Seyfert galaxies which have an active nucleus. In the center of NGC 1433 is probably a supermassive black hole surrounded by a dense interstellar medium.
The phenomenon known as a gravitational lens occurs when a massive object changes its gravitational field the direction of propagation of electromagnetic radiation from the more distant object. The last image is greatly distorted.
Captured by the Hubble space telescope pillar of gas and dust located in the nebula NGC 3372. Inside the cloud is the formation of young stars, which produce flows of hot matter.
The cluster of galaxies Abell 370 includes several hundreds of galaxies connected to each other by the gravitational interaction. The largest, brightest galaxy cluster — a massive elliptical containing several hundred billion stars. Luminous arc is distorted due to the gravitational lens images of distant galaxies.
NGC 4696 is the largest galaxy in the Centaurus cluster, which was removed for a distance of 145 million light years from Earth. Dusty filaments surrounding the galaxy, curl around a supermassive black hole and absorbed by it.
UGC 12591 in type occupies an intermediate position between the lenticular and spiral galaxies. It is located 400 million light years supercluster of Perseus-Pisces chain of galaxies, which stretches hundreds of light years.
Hubble Space Telescope has captured the region in the Central part of the milky Way, remote from the Earth is 26 thousand light years, where there are 200 billion stars.
