2024年11月4日 · The Hubble Skymap puts the night sky at your fingertips any time of day. Roam the Milky Way to find a selection of galaxies, stars, nebulae and more, and click for a Hubble’s-eye-view of each object.

2016年3月31日 · Peering deep into the dusty heart of our Milky Way galaxy using infrared vision, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope reveals a rich tapestry of more than half a million stars. Except for a few blue foreground stars, the stars are part of the Milky Way’s nuclear star cluster, the most massive and densest star cluster in our galaxy.

2024年5月20日 · Witness an Einstein-predicted phenomenon that magnifies light from far-distant galaxies through the gaze of the Hubble Space Telescope. This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a dusty yet sparkling scene …

His meticulous studies of spiral nebulae proved the existence of galaxies other than our own Milky Way. Had he not died suddenly in 1953, Hubble would have won that year's Nobel Prize in Physics. (The assertion that he would have won the Nobel Prize in 1953 is likely false, although he was nominated for the prize that year.

2025年1月17日 · Finally, he used the RR Lyrae variables to calibrate the distance to ordinary massive, luminous stars near the edge of the Milky Way. Shapley determined that the Milky Way was 300,000 light years ...

2018年1月12日 · The vast edge-on stretch of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is seen intersecting the night sky above the silhouetted Rocky Mountains in this photograph. The Milky Way noticeably widens at lower right. This wider area is the central hub, or bulge, of our galaxy.

2025年1月21日 · The Hubble Space Telescope has finally completed a stunning mosaic of the Milky Way's closest cosmic companion, the Andromeda Galaxy — having spent more than a decade snapping the spectacular image.

6 天之前 · Hubble wrote about his discovery to Harlow Shapley, who had argued that the Milky Way encompassed the entire universe. "Here is the letter that destroyed my universe," Shapley remarked .

The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are a binary system of giant spiral galaxies belonging to a group of 50 closely bound galaxies known as the Local Group, surrounded by a Local Void, itself being part of the Local Sheet [275] and in turn the Virgo Supercluster.

2012年5月31日 · Edwin Hubble measured its vast distance by uncovering a variable star that served as a “milepost marker.” Hubble went on to discover the expanding universe where galaxies are rushing away from us, but it has long been known that M31 is moving toward the Milky Way at about 250,000 miles per hour.
