With international partnerships, the American Space and Aviation Agency, with international partnerships, released a high -resolution vehicle image that combines data from more than 12 space and terrestrial telescopes.
It is one image that is formed from the merging of multiple images, each of which is taken using a different type of rays (such as visible light, X -rays, infrared … etc.).
To understand the idea, imagine a serial galaxy like a human being, visible light tears clothes and outer shape, infrared radiation tears the heat under the skin, the x -rays teach the bones (the inner structure), and the ultraviolet rays teach the high energy of young cells.
By merging all of these “layers”, you get a “vehicle” image that gives you a complete vision of the object, and this is what the composite images of galaxies do, and in the case of the serial women, the new image highlights sites with high energy around the super black hole in the galaxy center, in addition to dense integrated bodies spread throughout the galaxy, according to Statement An official journalist from NASA.
Earth neighbor
The serial galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away from our galaxy, and thus is our closest spiral galaxy, which is a huge spiral galaxy, such as the Milky Way, but larger, and contains more than one trillion star, that is, more than the number of stars of our galaxy, which is believed to contain 250-400 billion stars.
Because of her proximity, the serial woman can be seen with the naked eye of the northern hemisphere in a dark, dark nights, as if it were a small, dimmed cloud.
The galaxy played an important role in many aspects of astronomical physics, especially in discovering the dark matter. In the sixties of the last century, astronomer Vera Rubin and her colleagues studied the galaxy of the series, and concluded that there is an invisible substance in the galaxy that affects how it rotated and its spiral arms, this unknown material was called “dark matter”.
Vehicle data
The new complex image contains data taken by some of the world’s most powerful telescopes in different types of lights, for example scientists obtained X -ray data from the Chandra Observatory of NASA X -ray, and the “XMM Newton” Observatory of the European Space Agency (represented in red, green and blue)
As for the NASA (Azraq) Observatory (Blue) Observatory, as well as visual data using ground telescopes (Jacob Sahnner and Tarun Kotary), and infrared data from NASA’s Spacezer Space Telescope.
Besides, the scientists obtained infrared data from observatories such as a cup, Blanc, Herschel, and others (appear in red, orange, purple), and radio data from the Western Weslurk Sinthisis radio (and appears in red and orange).
