Spiral Galaxy M74 NGC 628 Hubble JPL NASA space telescope photo hs-2007-41-a

Description: This is a fantastic image directly from NASA’s archives and shows the wonders of the universe. Note that some of the NASA spaces images have some slight blurring due to the subject, this is natural. You have your choice of size and finish for the photo. The size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. Unless requested when placing your order, your image may be cropped. If you would like to see how a specific image will look for the size you have chosen, please contact us and indicate the size you are interested in. Matte Finish: E-Surface Photo Paper is by far our most popular photographic paper. As a professional paper, it boasts rich, sharp color that won't fade or yellow, creating beautiful prints that will last for years to come. Glossy (Metallic) finish: Our Metallic Photo Paper features a unique pearlescent surface. It offers highly saturated colors, ultra-bright backgrounds, and will last a lifetime with typical home storage. Spiral Galaxy M74 M74, also called NGC 628, is a stunning example of a "grand-design" spiral galaxy that is viewed by Earth observers nearly face-on. Its perfectly symmetrical spiral arms emanate from the central nucleus and are dotted with clusters of young blue stars and glowing pink regions of ionized hydrogen. Tracing along the spiral arms are winding dust lanes that also begin very near the galaxy's nucleus and follow along the length of the spiral arms. Resembling festive lights on a holiday wreath, this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of the nearby spiral galaxy M74 is an iconic reminder of the impending season. Bright knots of glowing gas light up the spiral arms, indicating a rich environment of star formation. M74 is located roughly 32 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Pisces, the Fish. It is the dominant member of a small group of about half a dozen galaxies, the M74 galaxy group. In its entirety, it is estimated that M74 is home to about 100 billion stars, making it slightly smaller than our Milky Way. The spiral galaxy was first discovered by the French astronomer Pierre Méchain in 1780. Weeks later it was added to Charles Messier's famous catalog of deep-sky objects. This Hubble image of M74 is a composite of Advanced Camera for Surveys data taken in 2003 and 2005. The filters used to create the color image isolate light from blue, visible, and infrared portions of the spectrum, as well as emission from ionized hydrogen (known as HII regions). A small segment of this image used data from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and the Gemini Observatory to fill in a region that Hubble did not image. Object Name: M74, NGC 628 Object Description: Spiral Galaxy Position (J2000): R.A. 01h 36m 41s.84 Dec. +15° 46' 59".60 Constellation: Pisces Distance: Approximately 32 million light-years (10 million parsecs) away Dimensions: The image is 3.3 arcminutes (31,000 light-years or 9,500 parsecs) wide. Data Description: The Hubble image was created from HST data from proposals 10402: R. Chandar (University of Toledo), B. Whitmore (STScI), R. Kennicutt Jr. (University of Cambridge), L. Bianchi (Johns Hopkins University), D. Calzetti (University of Massachusetts), D. Elmegreen (Vassar College), B. Elmegreen (IBM/T.J. Watson Research Center), M. Regan (STScI), S. Larsen (European Southern Observatory, Germany), and J. Brodie (University of California, Santa Cruz) and proposal 9796: J. Miller (University of Michigan), G. Fabbiano and A. Zezas (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), P. Kaaret (University of Iowa), J. Grindlay (Harvard University), A. Kong (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), A. King (University of Leicester), M. Ward (University of Durham), V. Kalogera (Northwestern University), M. Krauss (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and M. Garcia (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) Instrument: ACS Exposure Date(s): November/December 2003 February/June 2005 Filters: F435W (B), F555W (V), F656N (Halpha + [N II]), and F814 (I) About the Image Image Credit: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage (STScI/AURA)-ESA/Hubble Collaboration Release Date: November 29, 2007 Color: This image is a composite of many separate exposures made by the ACS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Three filters were used to sample broad wavelength ranges, while one filter was used to sample a narrow wavelength band. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: F435W (B) blue F555W (V) green F656N (Halpha + [N II]) and F814 (I) red
