Галактики в Пегасе Galaxies in Pegasus
23.11.2007

This wide, sharp telescopic view reveals galaxies scattered beyond the stars near the northern boundary of the high-flying constellation Pegasus. Prominent at the upper right is NGC 7331. A mere 50 million light-years away, the large spiral is one of the brighter galaxies not included in Charles Messier's famous 18th century catalog.



Загадочные кольца сверхновой 1987А The Mysterious Rings of Supernova 1987A
6.01.2007

What's causing those odd rings in supernova 1987A? In 1987, the brightest supernova in recent history occurred in the Large Magellanic Clouds. At the center of the picture is an object central to the remains of the violent stellar explosion.



Пекулярная пара галактик Арп 87 Peculiar Arp 87
31.10.2007

A cosmic bridge of stars, gas, and dust stretches for over 75,000 light-years and joins this peculiar pair of galaxies cataloged as Arp 87. The bridge is strong evidence that these two immense star systems have passed close to each other and experienced violent tides induced by mutual gravity.



Поиск экзопланет на телескопе Хаббла: проект SWEEPS The Hubble SWEEPS Field
13.10.2006

This crowded star field towards the center of our Milky Way Galaxy turns out to be a great place to search for planets beyond our solar system. In fact, repeatedly imaging about...



Беспорядок в квинтете Стефана Disorder in Stephan's Quintet
12.12.1996

Five closely grouped galaxies are visible in this image made using the Kitt Peak National Observatory 2.1 meter telescope. The grouping is commonly known as Stephan's Quintet. Four of the galaxies show essentially the same redshift suggesting that they are at the same distance from us.



Беспорядок в Квинтете Стефана Disorder in Stephan's Quintet
9.01.1998

What are five closely grouped galaxies doing in this image? The grouping is commonly known as Stephan's Quintet. Four of the galaxies show essentially the same redshift suggesting that they are at the same distance from us.



Арп 81: 100 миллионов лет спустя Arp 81: 100 Million Years Later
10.12.2003

From planet Earth, we view this strongly interacting pair of galaxies, cataloged as Arp 81, as they were only about 100 million years after their mutual closest approach. The havoc wreaked by gravity during...
