Неожиданное рентгеновское излучение из скопления галактик в Персее Unexpected X Rays from Perseus Galaxy Cluster
1.01.2018

Why does the Perseus galaxy cluster shine so strangely in one specific color of X-rays? No one is sure, but a much-debated hypothesis holds that these X-rays are a clue to the long-sought identity of dark matter.



Моделирование кольца из темной материи вокруг скопления галактик CL0024+17 Dark Matter Ring Modeled around Galaxy Cluster CL0024 17
16.05.2007

How do we know that dark matter isn't just normal matter exhibiting strange gravity? A new observation of gravitationally magnified faint galaxies far in the distance behind a massive cluster of galaxies is shedding new dark on the subject.



Молодое звездное скопление NGC 346 Young Star Cluster NGC 346
12.01.2023

The most massive young star cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud is NGC 346, embedded in our small satellite galaxy's largest star forming region some 210,000 light-years distant. Of course the massive stars of NGC 346 are short lived, but very energetic.



Эйбелл 370: скопление галактик – гравитационная линза Abell 370: Galaxy Cluster Gravitational Lens
27.08.2016

What is that strange arc? While imaging the cluster of galaxies Abell 370, astronomers had noted an unusual arc to the right of many cluster galaxies. Although curious, one initial response was to avoid commenting on the arc because nothing like it had ever been noted before.



Миллионы звезд в Омега Центавра Millions of Stars in Omega Centauri
20.02.1996

Pictured above is the largest ball of stars in our Galaxy. About 10 million stars orbit the center of this globular cluster - named Omega Centauri - as this giant globular cluster orbits the center of our Galaxy.



M44: улей звезд M44: A Beehive of Stars
3.08.1998

M44 is a prominent open cluster of stars. Nicknamed Praesepe and "The Beehive", it is one of the few open clusters visible to the unaided eye. M44 was thought to be a nebula until Galileo used an early telescope to resolve the cluster's bright blue stars. These stars are visible in the above image.



NGC 4755: шкатулка для драгоценных камней со звездами NGC 4755: A Jewel Box of Stars
10.11.1996

The great variety of star colors in this open cluster underlie it's name: The Jewel Box. The bright central star Kappa Crucis is red, in contrast to the many blue stars that surround it. The cluster contains just over 100 stars, and might be no older than 10 million years.



Область звездообразования RCW38 Star Forming Region RCW38
6.12.1998

Star cluster RCW38 was hiding. This open cluster of stars is located about 5000 light years away towards the constellation of Vela. Looking there will not normally reveal most of the stars in this cluster, though.



Марс и Ясли Mars and the Beehive
9.06.2023

This month, bright Mars and brilliant Venus are the prominent celestial beacons in planet Earth's western skies after sunset. Wandering through the constellation Cancer the Crab, the Red Planet was captured here on the evening of June 3 near the stars of open cluster Messier 44.



Горячий газ в скоплении Гидра А Hot Gas In Hydra A
16.12.1999

The Hydra A galaxy cluster is really big. In fact, such clusters of galaxies are the largest gravitationally bound objects in the Universe. But individual galaxies are too cool to be recorded in this false-color Chandra Observatory X-ray image which shows only the 40 million degree gas that permeates the Hydra A cluster.
