Hubble Telescope Explores the Enigmatic Neighbors of the Milky Way

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a detailed image of the irregular galaxy ESO 174–1, one of the Milky Way galaxy's closest neighbors. The image reveals a wispy cloud of milky white gas surrounded by bright stars, with other stars and a dark tendril of gas and dust visible within the galaxy. This observation is part of a program to better understand the galactic population of the Milky Way's surroundings. The irregular shape of ESO 174–1 is believed to be the result of interactions or collisions between galaxies, and studying neighboring galaxies can help scientists understand the basic characteristics of local galaxies.

Hubble telescope captures stunning image of Milky Way's isolated neighbor

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a detailed image of the irregular galaxy ESO 174–1, one of the Milky Way galaxy's closest neighbors. The image reveals a wispy cloud of milky white gas surrounded by bright stars, with other stars and a dark tendril of gas and dust visible within the galaxy. This observation is part of a program to better understand the galactic population of the Milky Way's surroundings. The irregular shape of ESO 174–1 suggests it may have been formed through interactions or collisions with other galaxies. The program aims to study the brightest stars of every known galaxy within 32 million light-years of the Milky Way.

Hubble's Surprising Discovery: Irregular Galaxy ESO 174-1

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a detailed image of the irregular galaxy ESO 174-1, located 11 million light-years away. This image is part of a program to study all known galaxies within 32 million light-years, using the telescope's downtime for observing hard-to-schedule celestial bodies. ESO 174-1 appears as a bright cloud of stars with a faint, meandering tendril of dark gas and dust. The program aims to resolve the brightest stars and basic properties of every known galaxy within 10 megaparsecs, helping maximize Hubble's observing time.
