Three Years After Stellar Outburst Wall Art Size:16 x 16 Most spiral galaxies — around

Most spiral galaxies — around two thirds — are observed to have this feature

and thus the total number of data points (pixels) of the 14 CCD frames used to make this photo is almost 10 9

in cooperation with ESA (European Space Agency)

almost as large as Earth

this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope actually depicts a small section of the Cygnus supernova blast wave

Three Years After Stellar Outburst Wall Art Size:16 x 16 Most spiral galaxies — aroundThe Hubble Space Telescope's latest image of the star V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon) reveals dramatic changes in the illumination of surrounding dusty cloud structures. The effect, called a light echo, has been unveiling never before seen dust patterns ever since the star suddenly brightened for several weeks in early 2002.
