오늘의 우주 사진 (2023-06-02)

최근 NASA에서 우주 모습을 알려줬는데요 과연 어떻게 보여질지 기대가 됩니다
그러면 지금부터 이미지를 살펴보겠습니다

 

이 사진의 이름은 Messier 101 인데요 국제기구인 NASA에서도 공식 자료를 확인해보도록 하겠습니다

 

Big, beautiful spiral galaxy M101 is one of the last entries in Charles Messier's famous catalog, but definitely not one of the least. About 170,000 light-years across, this galaxy is enormous, almost twice the size of our own Milky Way. M101 was also one of the original spiral nebulae observed by Lord Rosse's large 19th century telescope, the Leviathan of Parsontown. Assembled from 51 exposures recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope in the 20th and 21st centuries, with additional data from ground based telescopes, this mosaic spans about 40,000 light-years across the central region of M101 in one of the highest definition spiral galaxy portraits ever released from Hubble. The sharp image shows stunning features of the galaxy's face-on disk of stars and dust along with background galaxies, some visible right through M101 itself. Also known as the Pinwheel Galaxy, M101 lies within the boundaries of the northern constellation Ursa Major, about 25 million light-years away.

 

이번에도 광대한 우주크기에 인간이 얼마나 작은지 확인하게 되는 사건입니다
그러면 다음시간에 더 좋은 정보들을 들고 오도록 하겠습니다 행복한 지구여행 되시길 바랍니다
