Summary
[edit]DescriptionHubble observes spectacular supernova timelapse (50407299001).jpg |
Pictured here is the captivating galaxy NGC 2525. Located nearly 70 million light-years from Earth, this galaxy is part of the constellation of Puppis in the southern hemisphere. Together with the Carina and the Vela constellations, it makes up an image of the Argo from ancient greek mythology. Another kind of monster, a supermassive black hole, lurks at the centre of NGC 2525. Nearly every galaxy contains a supermassive black hole, which can range in mass from hundreds of thousands to billions of times the mass of the Sun. Hubble has captured a series of images of NGC2525 as part of one of its major investigations; measuring the expansion rate of the Universe, which can help answer fundamental questions about our Universe’s very nature. ESA/Hubble has now published a unique timelapse of this galaxy and it’s fading supernova. Credits: ESA/Hubble & NASA, A. Riess and the SH0ES team; CC BY 4.0 Acknowledgment: Mahdi Zamani |
