The Hubble Space Telescope NASA managed to make it Great new catch Astronomical, specifically, who Distorted galaxy merger by gravity and shapinghuge ring“.
In its most recent image, Arp-Madore 417-391 appears in a galactic merger. It is located 670 million light-years away away in Constellation Aedanusin the southern celestial hemisphere.
Two galaxies making a ring
According to NASA, the merger of the two galaxies occurred next It was distorted by gravityand coiled into an enormous ring, leaving their cores staggered side by side.
In order to capture this scene, Hubble used the Advanced camera for surveys (ACS), a tool optimized for Find galaxies and galaxy clusters in the ancient universe.
The Hubble Space Telescope’s self-propelled guns contributed to Scientific discovery for 20 yearsThroughout his life, he has been involved in a variety of roles, from mapping the distribution of dark matter, to studying the evolution of galaxy clusters.
Hubble Webb support
The image comes from a selection of Hubble observations designed to create a List of interesting goals Follow up notes with James Webb Space Telescopeas well as with other ground-based telescopes.
From this list, astronomers took advantage of Hubble’s list of unobserved galaxies to examine them among other scheduled observations, allowing scientists Build a collection of interesting galaxies while using Hubble’s limited observation time as efficiently as possible.
