#Arp244 - im Sternbild #Rabe Es handelt sich hier um eine Antennengalaxie. Sie besteht aus den beiden Galaxien #NGC4038 und #NGC4039, die kollidierten und die sich nun durchdringen. Es prallen nicht die Planeten der beiden Galaxien zusammen, sondern ihre großen Wolken aus Staub und Gas. Hier finden wir auch Sternentstehungsprozesse, die gerade im Laufen sind. Diese Kollision braucht etwas Zeit, man schätzt hier, dass es ein Ereignis ist, das ca. 1 Mrd Jahre dauert. Die wunderschön und deutlich zu sehenden Antennen dieser Galaxie bestehen aus Materie und neuen Sternhaufen, die durch Gezeitenphänomene weg geschleudert wurden und nun diese besonderen Bögen bilden. Gemeinschaftsprojekt von Eric Benson und Stargazer Observatory - Dr. Dietmar Hager und basiert auf rund 88 (!) Stunden reiner Belichtungszeit über einen Zeitraum von mehreren Jahren.

It consists of two galaxies, #NGC4038 and #NGC4039, which collided and are now intersecting. It is not the planets of the two galaxies that collide, but their large clouds of dust and gas. Here we also find star formation processes in progress. This collision takes some time, it is estimated here that it is an event that takes about 1 billion years. The beautiful and clearly visible antennas of this galaxy consist of matter and new star clusters that have been flung away by tidal phenomena and now form these special arcs. Joint project of Eric Benson and Stargazer Observatory - Dr. Dietmar Hager and based on about 88 (!) hours of pure exposure time over a period of several years.   #dietmarhager #ericbenson #stargazerobservatory #observatory #weltall #space #universe #universum #milchstrasse #milkyway #sterne #stars #galaxie #galaxy #astronomie #astronomy #astrofotografie #astrophotography #astrophoto #astrofotografia #sternenfotograf #sternenfotografie #austria https://www.instagram.com/p/CTR4rWGo1y0/?utm_medium=tumblr

NGC 4038 and NGC 4039

Somewhere in 60 million light years from us, two galaxies collided NGC 4038 and NGC 4039.

Exploring the Antennae

Some 60 million light-years away in the southerly constellation Corvus, two large galaxies are colliding. Stars in the two galaxies, cataloged as NGC 4038 and NGC 4039, very rarely collide in the course of the ponderous cataclysm that lasts for hundreds of millions of years. But the galaxies' large clouds of molecular gas and dust often do, triggering furious episodes of star formation near the center of the cosmic wreckage. Spanning over 500 thousand light-years, this stunning view also reveals new star clusters and matter flung far from the scene of the accident by gravitational tidal forces. The remarkable mosaicked image was constructed using data from the ground-based Subaru telescope to bring out large-scale and faint tidal streams, and Hubble Space Telescope data of extreme detail in the bright cores. The suggestive visual appearance of the extended arcing structures gives the galaxy pair its popular name - The Antennae.

Explanation: Some 60 million light-years away in the southerly constellation Corvus, two large galaxies are colliding. Stars in the two galaxies, cataloged as NGC 4038 and NGC 4039, very rarely collide in the course of the ponderous cataclysm that lasts for hundreds of millions of years. But the galaxies' large clouds of molecular gas and dust often do, triggering furious episodes of star formationi near the center of the cosmic wreckage. Spanning over 500 thousand light-years, this stunning view also reveals new star clusters and matter flung far from the scene of the accident by gravitational tidal forces. The remarkably sharp ground-based image includes narrowband data that highlights the characteristic red glow of atomic hydrogen gas in star-forming regions. The suggestive overall visual appearance of the extended arcing structures gives the galaxy pair its popular name - The Antennae.

🌌 Foto da colisão de galáxias 🌌 O tempo no universo é medido em distância e vice versa. Duas galáxias que um dia existiram para nós agora estão em colisão na constelação do Corvo. Quando isso ocorre as estrelas que as compõe não fazem o mesmo pois existe infinitamente mais espaços vazios que matéria dentro  delas e as  estrelas, por mais brilhantes que sejam, são apenas uma pequena parte do volume. A colisão vai durar 50 milhões de anos para nós, mas para os seres que vivem lá, já foi consumada. #Hubble #Cosmos #Espaço #GaláxiadeCorvo #GaláxiasAntena #NGC4038 #NGC4039 (em Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqIe86WFcxw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1usvtucgelutq

Will you be there?

NCT 127's LIMITLESS ROOM Last Episode

Uploaded 2017.02.09, but shot at the start of January, judging by hair colour. 

The members read a bit from books of their choice. I don’t know if there was a theme or not. Probably just something inspirational, because not all quotes were romantic. 

Jae’s picked my interest.

As I’m attaching pictures, I’m hiding the text under the cut

당신,거기있어줄래요 - Will you be there? (The original novel is in French, “Seras-tu là?” by Guillaume Musso). Koreans later in 2016 shot a movie. 

English translation from Vlive:

“You must have been very surprised. From now on I’ll take the lead. I will wait for you to come back to me. Beginning immidiently tonight.”

Doyoung wasn’t looking at Jae, when the latter read it, which is unusual for him, he is attentive to the members. More so, Do’s head was turned the opposite direction. When people just passively listen, they look in front of themselves. Turning away from the source of audio information is “I don’t want to hear”. 

And Doyoung stayed like this for some time. Notice that everybody else's heads are turned towards the centre of the circle (it was a tiresome long shooting, so they are not energetic). 

Does it look like Jae confessed in December? (soon after the announcment that Johnny and Doyoung join 127? hm...) It does to me... I’m going to study this time period further.

Doyoung’s choice - 썸타는천문대, a popular book about astronomy, it seems.

“If you want to engrave a saying on your couple ring promising love between you and your lover, I recommend engraving a serial number of a galaxy. The names of two galaxies I’d like to recommend are NGC4039 and  NGC4038. About 60,000,000 light years away from Earth, these two galaxies were engaged in affectionate contact and were given these serial numbers by astronomers.”

These galaxies also have a name -  Antennae Galaxies 

Two colliding galaxies that will become one with time. 

Jae reacted with gesture of insecurity, he covered his throat with his hand and later scratched a bit. He was a tad exited at first, but soon sad thoughts came.

Cómo se forman las galaxias, ¿Fueron creadas realmente por Dios o por el azar?

La ciencia busca las evidencias de cómo se formaron

El universo contiene miles de millones de galaxias, de las cuales nuestra propia Vía Láctea es solo una. A menudo consideradas como grandes aglomeraciones de estrellas, que es como se ven en las fotografías, las galaxias en realidad también contienen otros tipos de material, como gas, polvo y materia oscura. Esta imagen del Hubble muestra dos galaxias, NGC4038 y 4039, en proceso de fusión.…

Two galaxies are squaring off in Corvus and here are the latest pictures. When two galaxies collide, however, the stars that compose them usually do not. This is because galaxies are mostly empty space and, however bright, stars only take up only a small amount of that space. During the slow, hundred million year collision, however, one galaxy can rip the other apart gravitationally, and dust and gas common to both galaxies does collide. In the above clash of the titans, dark dust pillars mark massive molecular clouds are being compressed during the galactic encounter, causing the rapid birth of millions of stars, some of which are gravitationally bound together in massive star clusters.
