The Hubble Space Telescope photographed the galaxy SDSS J103512.07+461412.2, located in the constellation Ursa Major.
This was reported by the ESA observatory, according to Ukrinform’s report.
Space object SDSS J103512.07+461412.2 is located 23 million light-years away from Earth.
The unusual name of the galaxy is explained by the fact that it was observed as part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), a large-scale effort that began in 2000 to observe and catalog a large number of astronomical objects.
So far, several hundred million astronomical objects have been recorded in the survey.
The name SDSS J103512.07+461412.2 simply says that the galaxy can be found 10 hours 35 minutes 12 seconds east of zero at the celestial equator and 46 degrees north of the celestial equator.
So this long name is actually both the identifier and the detailed location of the galaxy.
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey is a large-scale survey of galaxy images, spectra, and redshifts using the 2.5-meter optical telescope at Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico, USA.
As reported by Ukrinform, the Hubble space telescope took a photo of the space object Arp 107, which consists of two galaxies approaching a collision, thanks to its Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) camera.
