What are some of the ways that scientist classify the objects that they see in the Hubble deep field images What are some of the challenges Scientist face when doing this?
Objects are classified by shape and color.
What does the Hubble Deep Field image show?
Called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), the image contains as many as 10,000 galaxies of all shapes, sizes, colors, and ages. Taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, this benchmark view represents a “core sample” of galaxies at various distances and therefore different eras in our universe’s history.
Why were the scientists so shocked by the Hubble Deep Field and the extreme deep field images?
In the case of the Hubble Deep and Ultra Deep Fields, it is the extreme distances involved which make them faint, and hence make observations challenging. Using the different Hubble Deep fields astronomers were able to study young galaxies in the early Universe and the most distant primeval galaxies.
What does the color of the oddball object tell you?
Some of the academy’s astronomers believe that the so-called “oddball” object is an irregular galaxy. Its purplish color may be caused by a combination of star formation and dust in the galaxy. Dust absorbs and scatters light and makes a galaxy appear more red.
What is the most important photo ever taken?
20 of the Most Famous Photographs in History
- #1 Henri Cartier-Bresson’s famous photo Man Jumping the Puddle | 1930.
- #2 The famous photo The Steerage by Alfred Stieglitz | 1907.
- #3 Stanley Forman’s famous photo Woman Falling From Fire Escape |1975.
- #4 Kevin Carter’s controversial photo – Starving Child and Vulture | 1993.
What is the Hubble Deep Field and why is it important?
It was the deepest portrait of the universe ever taken at the time. The snapshot, dubbed the Hubble Deep Field, contained thousands of nearby and distant galaxies. The image represents only a tiny sample of the universe, but it was important because it gave scientists the first look at galaxies when they were young.
How many galaxies are in Hubble eXtreme Deep Field?
10,000 galaxies
How deep can we see into space?
30 billion light-years away
Does the universe ever end?
The end result is unknown; a simple estimation would have all the matter and space-time in the universe collapse into a dimensionless singularity back into how the universe started with the Big Bang, but at these scales unknown quantum effects need to be considered (see Quantum gravity).
Who is the creator of heaven and earth?
God
What is the true name of our Creator?
Yahweh, the god of the Israelites, whose name was revealed to Moses as four Hebrew consonants (YHWH) called the tetragrammaton.
