Journey to a Thousand-color Image of The Sculptor Galaxy | ESO
Fly with us to the relatively nearby Sculptor Galaxy . . . 11 million light years away from us.
This galaxy is the subject of a highly detailed portrait, an image that astronomers made containing thousands of colors. To capture the galaxy in this light, the team of researchers observed it for over 50 hours with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument on the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT).
This zoom was created with images from multiple telescopes stitched together, covering progressively smaller areas in the sky, ending on the final portrait in all its glory.
