Pan over Luminous in Lepus: Spiral Galaxy IC 438 | Hubble Space Telescope FriendsofNASA.org: This image shows the spiral galaxy IC 438, which lies about 130 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Lepus (the Hare). Lepus lies just south of the celestial equator (the ring around the middle of Earth that falls at right angles to its rotation axis). Appropriately, Lepus is flanked by the constellations Canis Major (the Greater Dog) and Orion (the Hunter), whilst Canis Minor (the Lesser Dog) lies very nearby, meaning that in artistic representations of the constellations, Lepus is often shown as being pursued by Orion and his two hunting dogs. Lepus is one of the 88 constellations that are officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). It is worth clarifying that, whilst the actual constellations themselves only comprise a handful of stars, the area of sky covered by those stars is often referred to using the name of the constellation. For example, when we say that IC 438 is in Lepus, we do not mean that the galaxy is part of the constellation—perhaps obviously, as it is not a single star, but an entire galaxy! Rather, we mean that it falls in the region of sky covered by the Lepus constellation stars. Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, R. J. Foley (UC Santa Cruz), N.

The T-energy is the primary of the CTP forces that 'codes' physical universal spatial distances into the P-energy Units (atoms) that define our physical universe. Thus the T-energy is the Creator of spacetime itself. (https://lnkd.in/epEASqb6) Understanding the CTPSci Principles as the (non)physical forces which in effect 'render' our total physical reality or P-domain into P-existence... will allow us to build #CTPcraft that harness and utilize the C-domain Principles that will avail humankind the future ability via highly advanced new forms of #CTPcraft that will be able traverse vast light-years of distances in near moments. We at CTP already understand the revolutionary new sciences involved and required - that universal #spacetravel is truly possible within our lifetime within a generation (less or so) as well as other forms of CTP-based travel before then. #newscience #newvision #newworlds #newlife #newcivilization #toboldlygo

NGC 3718, nicely processed by Scott Garrod is a captivating barred spiral galaxy located approximately 52 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. Its distinctive shape, characterized by a warped disk and a prominent dust lane stretching across its center, intrigues astronomers. NGC 3718 is often studied for its interactions with neighboring galaxies, including NGC 3729, contributing to our understanding of galactic dynamics and evolution.

What is the distance of each planet from the sun? Distances in the solar system are often measured in astronomical units (AU). One astronomical unit is defined as the distance from Earth to the Sun. ( 1 AU = 150 million KM) #astronomy #planets #spaceexploration #earthscience #universe #galaxies

The iconic rings around the planet Saturn will start getting invisible from the Earth, following the axis tilt, which occurs every 29.5 years. This tilt generally occurs as Saturn’s moon, particularly the largest one named Titan. Saturn rings were first discovered by Galileo in the 1600s. Then it was Christiaan Huygens who dealt with it in detail. The rings of Saturn consist of ice, rock, and dust and vary in size from tiny grains to house-sized chunks. This phenomenon is not a permanent change but temporary, and the rings will become visible again in 29.5 years. This is one of the beautiful phenomena that takes place in the cosmos.

M65, M66, and NGC 3628, acquired and processed by Alpha Zhang are three spiral galaxies in the constellation Leo, collectively known as the Leo Triplet. M65 and M66, discovered by Charles Messier in 1780, are bright and easily observed with small telescopes. M65 has a smooth, elongated shape, while M66 features prominent spiral arms and a central bar. NGC 3628, discovered by William Herschel in 1784, is viewed edge-on, exhibiting a thick dust lane along its plane.
