Hubble Space Telescope’s Amazing Discovery of the Universe

The Hubble Space Telescope is one of the largest astronomical observatories which was launched and placed into orbit around the Earth on April 24, 1990 (it just turned 34 years old). National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) And European Space Agency (ESA) These were the organizations responsible for launching it with the purpose of exploring the planets located in the Solar System, as well as exoplanets farthest from the Solar System.

Great discovery

Both the US government space agency and the European intergovernmental organization announced great discovery

. The Hubble Space Telescope discovered new galaxy in an endless universe.

As can be seen from the captured image, this barred spiral galaxy (its central structure is rod-shaped). Known by its scientific name NGK 3783it is a collection of stars, interstellar dust, gases and particles that acts as an autonomous system in the Universe, It is located approximately 130 million light years from Earth..

How Milky WayNGC 3783, formed by three large spiral galaxy systems, satellite galaxies, and dwarf galaxies, contains group of galaxies having a total of 47 gravitationally bound members. As NASA explained, “while galaxy clusters may contain hundreds or even thousands of constituent galaxies, groups of galaxies They usually do not exceed 50 inches.

The focus of the image is vibrant central areacreated by activity existing within NGC 3783. Based on this characteristic, the new galaxy was classified as Seyfert type 1. Thus, it is still in the period of early evolution. Another significant feature is centered on the object that glows at the bottom right of the image: this star HD 101274which is located just 1530 light years from Earththat is, about 85,000 times closer than NGC 3783.

This amazing discovery confirms the infinity of space surrounding planet Earth and also demonstrates the technological advances that aerospace engineers are using to contribute to our understanding of the universe.

Other discoveries

Since the launch of Hubble, this telescope has not stopped creating images of various celestial bodies. NASA remembers its great achievements

throughout its history: “In 2000, he studied first known exoplanet to transit or pass in front of its star (HD 209458 b) and analyzed in 2018 Planetary system TRAPPIST-1“He currently continues to observe space to continue revolutionizing astronomy.
