The Hubble telescope offers us new landscapes. Indeed, it reveals majestic galaxies in full space. Explanations.
It has now been more than three decades since the space telescope Hubble provides us with breathtaking glimpses of space phenomena. Enough to help astronomers, physicists and scientists to better understand planets, galaxies and stars. Photographed in 2012 and recently reposted by the NASAthis real galactic chart shows us how the optical mechanisms of perspective can alter our findings regarding what we believe to be the truth.
What you see in this picture is the galaxy ESO 318-13 of the southern constellation of Antila. Located regarding 30 million light-years from the Terreit is an oval irregular dwarf galaxy representing regarding 1% of the mass of the Milky Way. It is also called “glittering galaxy”.
“ESO 318-13 is sandwiched between a vast collection of bright celestial objects”explained NASA officials. “Several stars near and far dazzle once morest the crisp dust in the galaxy. ESO 318-13 is placed between an impressive scattering of ultra-bright celestial objects. Many nearby stars shining both near and far draw our attention to the twinkling galaxy’s close-knit family, especially a high-powered specimen smack in the middle. »
The specialists concluding: “The one that particularly stands out is located near the center of the image and looks like an extremely bright star located in the galaxy. This is, however, a perspective trick. The star is located in the Milky Way, our own galaxy, and it shines so brightly because it’s so much closer to us than ESO 318-13. »
