The majority of galaxies exist within colossal structures, known of as clusters, wherein typically thousands of galaxies and intergalactic material are gravitationally bound.
A team of researchers from the UK, US and Chile have released a new study searching for galaxies throughout the cosmos which share similar features and characteristics to our own, the milky way.
Hi there!
If you are new to astrophotography or have ever wondered how people get to practise this magnificent hobby, then this page will eliminate all your doubts and answer all your questions.
The cosmic optical background (COB) makes up a small section of the diffuse extragalactic background radiation (DEBRA), which is a photon field permeating all of space.
I have been fascinated by the night sky since I ‘discovered’ Saturn with my 60mm refractor at the age of 10. An APOD-winning astrophotographer, I have been published in Sky & Telescope, Astronomy Magazine, and Space.com. As a NASA Solar System Ambassador, I have conducted thousands of public outreach programs and am a registered cruise ship speaker on astronomy and space science, as well as a Director of the Phoenix Astronomical Society. I frequently post astrophotography images, news, and tutorials on social media. My solar imaging and videos are particularly popular, and I have conducted extensive research on solar cameras and solar image processing techniques.
