Perhaps a little understated compared to other #astrophotography in the #constellation Centaurus, but I liked this one!

This is NGC 4696 as imaged by the #hubble space telescope

You can learn all about the #constellation #Centaurus in our latest #podcast here: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

[#SonEtLumière cosmologique ✨ 🎧 ] Grâce au sondage #HUDF effectué par le télescope spatial #Hubble en 2003-2004, notre ciel profond est apparu constellé de milliers de #galaxies lointaines et peu lumineuses. L'une des images obtenues a été sonifiée, de sorte que la fréquence de l'onde sonore associée à chaque galaxie témoigne de son #redshift, ou décalage vers le rouge : apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap250302.ht

Parviendrez-vous à découvrir la galaxie la plus éloignée de l'image - celle dont la fréquence sonore associée est la plus basse ?

The #Hubble Ultra Deep Field in Light and Sound

Explore the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field in a new way: hover over the image to hear sonified distances. Each #galaxy's redshift is represented by a tone—the further away, the lower the pitch. The average galaxy, 10.6 billion light-years away, plays an F#. Can you find the most distant one?

apod.nasa.govAPOD: 2025 March 2 – The Hubble Ultra Deep Field in Light and SoundA different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.

Hubble image of Arp 321, also known as Hickson 40.

This group of galaxies include three spiral galaxies, an elliptical galaxy, and a lenticular (lens-like) galaxy. The group is so compact it could fit within a region of space that is less than twice the diameter of our Milky Way's disk.
