A pocketful of stars brought to you by Hubble

A new image has been revealed by NASA that was taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. It shows the globular cluster NGC 1805 which has many colorful stars packed close together. There is a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way called the Large Magellanic Cloud near the edge of which this tight grouping of stars is present. They tend to move around each other in an orbital manner which NASA has compared to “bees swarming around a hive.” The planetary systems around these stars are also speculated to be unlikely because, in the dense center of one of these clusters, the stars are 100 to 1000 times closer together than the nearest stars are to our Sun.

This image combines different types of life and thus illustrates the sharp difference in star colors. Blue stars, shining brightest in near-ultraviolet light, and red stars, illuminated in red and near-infrared. As the Hubble telescope is positioned above the atmosphere of the Earth, it can observe ultraviolet. The atmosphere itself absorbs UV, so the telescopes on the ground are unable to visualize that.

NASA also says that “this young globular cluster can be seen from the Southern Hemisphere, in the Dorado constellation, which is Portuguese for dolphinfish.”

Most of the time, globular clusters contain stars that are born at the same time. But NGC 1805 is different as it appears to have two varying star populations which have a difference of million years in ages. The study of this type of phenomenon can aid researchers and astronomers to understand the evolution of these bodies and determine how the end their lives.

Recently, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope also captured an image featuring the blue and orange stars of the galaxy called NGC 2188. On a closer first look, the galaxy appears to be made up of a narrow band that produce a mesmerizing look. The astronomers have classified it to be a barred spiral galaxy.

  1. Howdy! This blog post couldn’t be written much better!
    Looking at this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
    He constantly kept talking about this. I most certainly will forward this post to him.
    Fairly certain he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!

  2. Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after
    reading through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
    Anyways, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be
    book-marking and checking back frequently!

  3. Hi this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or
    if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience
    so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  4. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this
    matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and very broad for me.

    I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the
    hang of it!

  5. That is a great tip especially to those fresh to the blogosphere.

    Simple but very accurate information… Thank you for sharing this
    one. A must read post!

  6. Excellent post. I was checking continuously this blog and I’m impressed!
    Very useful information particularly the last part 🙂 I care
    for such information much. I was looking for this particular
    information for a very long time. Thank you and best of luck.

  7. Its like you learn my thoughts! You appear to understand a lot about this, like
    you wrote the e-book in it or something. I believe
    that you just could do with some percent to
    pressure the message house a bit, however
    other than that, this is magnificent blog. A great read.
    I’ll certainly be back.
