VLT Unveils the Most Detailed Image of NGC 253 to Date
Astronomers utilizing the Multi-unit Spectroscopic Explorer (Muse) on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) captured an active starburst galaxy, NGC 253, in thousands of colors simultaneously. This VLT/Muse image displays a detailed multi-colored view of NGC 253. Image credit: ESO/Congiu et al. NGC 253 lies approximately 11.5 million light-years away in the Sculptor constellation. Commonly referred [...] The post VLT Unveils the Most Detailed Image o…
Located at 11 million light years of Earth, the Milky Way galaxy (NGC 253) was observed by astronomers for more than 50 hours with a spectrograph installed in the VLT telescope operated by the OES in Chile. The detailed image that astronomers have obtained "discovered characteristics" of the galaxy that "they have never been observed before" such as about 500 planetary nebulas, gas regions and dust released by similar stars like the sun they are…

This is the Most Detailed Thousand-Color Image of a Galaxy Yet, Captured by the ESO's Very Large Telescope
NASA’s Hubble and Webb definitely have some competition. European Southern Observatory (ESO) astronomers have just revealed the most detailed thousand-color image taken by the ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the Sculptor Galaxy (NGC 253), also known as Caldwell 65, a spiral galaxy located 11 million light-years from Earth. The VLT’s Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer [...]
