Guest StevenWhatley Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Just one I found on the net but was in awe at how detailed it was... I guessing its a Hubble image but if not there's some serious data in it!!! andromeda-galex by stevenwhatley231284, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Not using the Hubble palate so I'm guessing it's the sort of image Olly Penrice produces with hours and hours of data? Edited August 14, 2014 by Ron Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwm891 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Colours are a bit 'off' for Olly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Thats looks very different from the usual images of it. This is an ultra violet image from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite's telescope... http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120518.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 It doesn't look right, there is no colour to it, particularly in the larger Ha star forming regions, it seems washed out. That and the stars in our galaxy are really colourful. I could be wrong, but the data could have been good and just the processing has been done differently.

Sheila Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) processing is somewhat 'special' on that one i think Edited August 14, 2014 by Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yes, Pete has it right. That's an ultra violet image. We probably won't see many new images like this as most research is looking at infra red for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
