Astronomers Find Cosmic Boomerang in Coma Cluster Galaxy

Aug 30, 2021 by News Staff

Using data from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-Wave Astronomy (CARMA) and the NASA/ESA Hubble...

This Hubble image shows NGC 4907, a barred spiral galaxy located 284 million light-years away in the constellation of Coma Berenices. The image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). Two filters were used to sample various wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues to each monochromatic image associated with an individual filter. Image credit: NASA / ESA / Hubble / M. Gregg.

Hubble Finds Over 22,000 Globular Clusters Hiding in Coma Galaxy Cluster

Nov 29, 2018 by News Staff

Globular clusters are ancient groups of hundreds of thousands or even millions of stars, gravitationally bound into a single structure about 100-200 light-years...

This Hubble image shows part of the Coma cluster of galaxies. The color image was made from separate exposures taken in the visible region of the spectrum with Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). Two filters were used to sample various wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues to each monochromatic image associated with an individual filter.
