[#SonEtLumière cosmologique ✨ 🎧 ] Grâce au sondage #HUDF effectué par le télescope spatial #Hubble en 2003-2004, notre ciel profond est apparu constellé de milliers de #galaxies lointaines et peu lumineuses. L'une des images obtenues a été sonifiée, de sorte que la fréquence de l'onde sonore associée à chaque galaxie témoigne de son #redshift, ou décalage vers le rouge : apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap250302.ht

Parviendrez-vous à découvrir la galaxie la plus éloignée de l'image - celle dont la fréquence sonore associée est la plus basse ?

Explanation:
Many spiral galaxies have bars across their centers. Even our own Milky Way Galaxy is thought to have a modest central bar. Prominently barred spiral galaxy NGC 1672, featured here, was captured in spectacular detail in an image taken by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope. Visible are dark filamentary dust lanes, young clusters of bright blue stars, red emission nebulas of glowing hydrogen gas, a long bright bar of stars across the center, and a bright active nucleus that likely houses a supermassive black hole. Light takes about 60 million years to reach us from NGC 1672, which spans about 75,000 light years across. NGC 1672, which appears toward the constellation of the Dolphinfish (Dorado), has been studied to find out how a spiral bar contributes to star formation in a galaxy's central regions.

Starburst Galaxy Messier 94

Explanation:
Beautiful island universe Messier 94 lies a mere 15 million light-years distant in the northern constellation of the hunting dogs, Canes Venatici. A popular target for earth-based astronomers, the face-on spiral galaxy is about 30,000 light-years across, with spiral arms sweeping through the outskirts of its broad disk. But this Hubble Space Telescope field of view spans about 7,000 light-years or so across M94's central region. The sharp close-up examines the galaxy's compact, bright nucleus and prominent inner dust lanes, surrounded by a remarkable bluish ring of young, massive stars. The massive stars in the ring appear to be less than about 10 million years old, indicating the galaxy experienced a corresponding well-defined era of rapid star formation. As a result, while the small, bright nucleus is typical of the Seyfert class of active galaxies, M94 is also known as a starburst galaxy. Because M94 is relatively nearby, astronomers can explore in detail reasons for the galaxy's burst of star formation.

The #Hubble Ultra Deep Field in Light and Sound

Explore the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field in a new way: hover over the image to hear sonified distances. Each #galaxy's redshift is represented by a tone—the further away, the lower the pitch. The average galaxy, 10.6 billion light-years away, plays an F#. Can you find the most distant one?
