NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope The latest image combines the work of two different devices that capture a sparkling spiral galaxy and is a major star over 20 years.
The image shows NGC 4900, a spiral galaxy and a star. Even though two objects look as if they are close to each other or in part of the same system, the star is 7,109 light-year located from the Earth, and the spiral Galaxy NGC 4900 45 million is 45 million light-year away.
NASA states that some of the final data shown in the new overall image were captured by the old wide area of NASA and the planet Camera 2, which was used on space telescopes from 1993 to 2009. The remaining data was collected by advanced cameras for surveys, established in 2002 and still remains in use. The data was collected for two separate observation programs for over 20 years, both focused on studying the deaths of large -scale stars in the universe.
In one of the programs, researchers studied places of the past SupernovaThe stars are expected to better understand the public who exploded and how supernova interact with their cosmic environment. NGC 4900 is a good candidate for this type of research as it hosted a supernova, SN 1999BR. As its name suggests, this supernova was discovered in 1999.
In other programs, researchers focused more on creating a good foundation by which they could study the future supernova. As part of the project, scientists collected images of galaxies of over 150 surrounds. When researchers detect a supernova in any of these galaxies, they can refer to this list of images to better understand the star in place of Supernova.
“How to identify a supernova ancestor star in pre-explosion images, gives valuable information about when and why supernova,” NASA says,
