It’s hard to see the stars even at night in a light-filled city center, but when you’re away from this sound of light, our skyscape is brimming with more stars than ever before. If you’re lucky, you might even see a light pink image of the Milky Way galaxy, made up of huge clouds of dust and gas. But space telescopes thanks to advanced technology It also reveals beauties that we cannot see with the naked eye.

Observations have revealed the existence of the Caldwell 5 galaxy before, and even its image was captured thanks to Hubble. In fact, previous images have never been so clear. Of the world 11 million light years away calculated galaxy. Its diameter is 50,000 light years. was calculated as. That’s almost half the size of the Milky Way.

The fact that the Caldwell 5 is so far away may sound exaggerated. But don’t be fooled, according to NASA, it would be one of the brightest objects in the sky without the epic dust and gas nebulae of the Milky Way below. Like our galaxy, Caldwell 5 has a spiral structure. in the next few million years It is estimated that it will be the place where thousands of stars will be formed.
