JAKARTA, kilat.com- The Hubble Space Telescope has captured the stunning galaxy CGCG 396-2. NASA share details about the unusual multi-weapon galaxy merger.
The US space agency’s official website says that the galaxy captured by Hubble is located 520 million light years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Orion.
NASA reveals that the observations are the jewel of the Galaxy Zoo project, which is a citizen science project. In this unique project, hundreds of thousands of volunteers classify galaxies to help scientists solve problems of astronomical proportions.
A way to sort through large amounts of data generated by telescope robotics. It is understood that the most astronomical object from the Galaxy Zoo was chosen for follow-up observations with Hubble after a public vote.
NASA revealed that CGCG 396-2 is one of the objects captured in this image by Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys. More about the Galaxy Zoo project The project came about when an astronomer was tasked with classifying more than 900,000 galaxies by eye. NASA said that by creating a web interface and inviting citizen scientists to contribute to the challenge, the Galaxy Zoo team was able to crowdsource the analysis.
