Hubble Images a Grand Spiral
official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the glorious spiral galaxy NGC 5643, which is located roughly 40 million light-years away in the constellation Lupus, the Wolf. NGC 5643 is a grand design spiral, which refers to the galaxy’s symmetrical form with two large, winding spiral arms that are clearlyContinue reading “Hubble Images a Grand Spiral”
Hubble Captures an Edge-On Spiral with Curve Appeal
official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a spiral galaxy, named UGC 10043. We don’t see the galaxy’s spiral arms because we are seeing it from the side. Located roughly 150 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Serpens, UGC 10043 is one of the somewhat rare spiral galaxies that we seeContinue reading “Hubble Captures an Edge-On Spiral with Curve Appeal”
