A little behind the scenes of the production of the James Webb Telescope Hubble telescope, still retains its functionality and allows us to obtain information about the depths of space. As he does this, we often see him capturing fascinating images. Mostly in these images galaxies It’s laying down.

European Space Agency (ESA)Hubble photo of the weekThe last image he shared doesn’t stray far from that. Because in the image in question, spiral galaxies reveal their uniqueness with their different appearances. Of course, these aren’t just random galaxies. Let’s see together what is true.

As soon as we look, our eyes are drawn to the beauty on the right.

This spiral galaxy NGC 1356 It is known by his name. We met him in 1837 thanks to the British astronomer John Herschel. While the small spiral we see just above is LEDA 467699, on the left we see the galaxy LEDA 95415. The galaxy on the far left, which seems to have escaped the others, is IC 1947. This quartet diversifies the image by expanding both in size and distinguishable from each other in color.

Looking into the background, we see a bright star and several galaxies further away. Based on what you see in this image, you might naturally think that these galaxies are very close together. there will be a mistake.

For example, although the giant NGC 1356 on the right and LEDA 95415 on the left appear very close, they are almost 300 million light-years away. ESA notes that if you look at it from a 3D perspective, NGC 1356 and IC 1947 on the far left of the canvas are more visible than the others. is closer states.
