Rubin’s Galaxy: A Gentle Giant Spiral Galaxy

Benne Holwerda, University of Louisville
In the 1980s, astronomer Vera Rubin discovered that the spiral galaxy UGC 2885 is the most extended disk galaxy in the local universe. In addition, this galaxy is close enough for high-resolution Hubble studies. As such, this galaxy provides an intriguing test of the observed scaling relationships between the characteristics of a galaxy and the characteristics of its globular star cluster population. As part of Hubble's 30th anniversary commemoration, a new, 74-megapixel, mosaic image of the newly nicknamed "Rubin's Galaxy" was released in January 2020. Dr. Holwerda will describe the observation and analysis, with first results on the globular cluster population of this massive disk galaxy.

Dr Holwerda explains this very well, for us Novices. TY
Maybe 👽👽s lost muscle milk in an accident out there, long, long ago.

It's beet not bait

We still do not have colored space images. The Hubble only takes pictures in black and white. The colors are added later through editing. Guess we're not as advanced as we thought.

Take your camera and diy, Hubble take image in different wave lenght and small part at a time then put things together, Hubble is not a space camera, it's a science instrument learn the difference.

This is really interesting but complicated.

[@duonghero]

This is the right theory of cosmic formation

Could you make your face camera bigger?

26:00 minutes in something relevant to Rubin’s Galaxy is said. “It’s really big”
