The Hubble space telescope has taken so far most abundant details of the centaurus A galaxy photographs emerged bright young star and dust formation of dark grain. The galaxy and distance from the earth more than 11 million light years away, the Milky Way is relatively close neighbor. Scientists think centaurus A galaxy there is A central supermassive black holes, radiation A huge radio can and x-rays.

This picture is more photos from the Hubble space telescope wavelength of wide field camera 3 of filming, reveals centaurus A galaxy is not had observed details. These details including gas and ChenAiPan distort the shape of that was with the past, another galaxy collision. The collision of the shock wave cause hydrogen gathered together, form a large number of stars. Red spots in the photo is in the stars. Wide field camera 3 is “” the most advanced instruments Hubble one. Centaurus A galaxy is very high, is the southern hemisphere brightness amateur astronomers A ideal observation object. The galaxy can through the binoculars for observation, more advanced amateur telescopes can reveal centaurus A characteristic dust way.

The Hubble telescope to the American astronomer Edwin Hubble’s name, April 24, 1990 launch. It is the first frame from the earth’s atmosphere and orbit round the earth run optical telescopes, goes around the earth every 97 minutes a week, is apart from the ground height 353 miles (about 568 kilometers) movement speed, 17500 miles per hour ($28163 kilometers per hour).

The Hubble telescope weighs 24500 pounds (about 11113 kilograms), long, 43.5 feet ($13 m), a week 120 G data back to earth, the photographs to earth to give priority to. This telescope through the two solar panels for energy from the sun, orbit around a week the amount of electricity can meet about 28 bulb electricity demand. Hubble’s duty time for 20 years, has initially after five times maintenance, the last time in May 2009.
