Photographs by the Hubble Telescope The Hubble Space Telescope grants fascinating views into the depth of space. As stereoscopic photographs in these unimaginable distances yet are not possible, accordingly the three-dimensional effect is to produce subsequently by a conversion of the telescope-shots. — The examples shown here have been realised for the Universum Science Center in Bremen (Germany).
Ca. 2 billions light years away there is a dense accumulation of galaxies. By reason of its gravitation it works like a cosmic magnifier; it shows spiral galaxies from the early time of universe, and among them some that are more distant than 10 to 20 billions light years and that never could be observed without that »magnifying glass«.
Especially colourful seems the Carina nebula that is about 8.000 light years far from earth and that has a diameter of more than 200 light years. It consists of hot, fluorescing gas and cold, dark dust; the single light spots mark stars that are 10 times hotter and 100 times more massive than the Sun.
The third picture presents a spectacular collision of two galaxies. As the rotary energy of the smaller galaxy does not suffice to separate from the bigger one, both in some billion years probably will merge into a single galaxy, while new stars will result from the cloudy gas concentrations. |
