The galaxy is designated as UGC 11105, and it is at a distance of 110 million lightyears in the constellation of Hercules.
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a picture of a distant spiral galaxy. The galaxy is designated as UGC 11105, and it is at a distance of 110 million lightyears in the constellation of Hercules. The galaxy was once host to a supernova, which is no longer visible in the Hubble images.
It is known that the German astronomer Johannes Kepler described the inverse square law of light, where the intensity of the light falls off with distance. In optical frequencies, the galaxy has an apparent magnitude of 13.6. The apparent magnitude is only how bright the object appears from the Earth, not how bright it is.
In fact, the James Webb Space Telescope has a tripodal internal support structure as well as hexagonal mirror segments, which results in diffraction spikes that are star-shaped. Meanwhile, the diffraction spikes can be used to tell, at a glance, which deep space observatory has captured a picture.
