아름답고 멋진 우주사진 2022년 05월 17일

2022년 05월 17일자 도착할 우주여행 장소는 사진에 나온 장소입니다.

여기는 NGC 1316: After Galaxies Collide 입니다. 

 

 

Astronomers turn detectives when trying to figure out the cause of startling sights like NGC 1316. Investigations indicate that NGC 1316 is an enormous elliptical galaxy that started, about 100 million years ago, to devour a smaller spiral galaxy neighbor, NGC 1317, just on the upper right. Supporting evidence includes the dark dust lanes characteristic of a spiral galaxy, and faint swirls and shells of stars and gas visible in this wide and deep image. One thing that >remains unexplained is the unusually small globular star clusters, seen as faint dots on the image. Most elliptical galaxies have more and brighter globular clusters than NGC 1316. Yet the observed globulars are too old to have been created by the recent spiral collision. One hypothesis is that these globulars survive from an even earlier galaxy that was subsumed into NGC 1316. Another surprising attribute of NGC 1316, also known as Fornax A, is its giant lobes of gas that glow brightly in radio waves.

 

멋지고 아름다운 우주여행에 탑승해주셔서 감사합니다.

다음에도 멋진 장소로 모실 수 있도록 노력하겠습니다.
