NASA, ESA, R. Tully (University of Hawaii); Image Processing: G. Kober (NASA/Catholic University of America) This NASA This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up image features the dwarf irregular galaxy ESO 490-017, roughly 12,000 light-years in diameter and some 23 million light-years away in the constellation Canis Major. The galaxy’s low surface brightness makes it appear as a faint, starry swarm behind brighter foreground stars that are easily recognized by their This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up . Numerous red, orange, and beige dots are distant galaxies peppering the ****** background, many exhibiting distinct spiral structure. The data in this image of ESO 490-017 was part of a Hubble observing program that looked at the movement of galaxies and galaxy clusters through space. Matter in the universe is distributed unevenly, and the gravitational influence of that matter drives the “ This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up ” or movement of large-scale structures in the universe. Hubble is uniquely capable of providing distances to nearby galaxies like ESO 490-017 by measuring the luminosities of low-mass red giant stars as “ This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up ”. The observing program also provided a legacy archive of the types of stars in local galaxies.
