Coma, Coma, Coma, Coma, Coma, Chameleon.................

detailed image of a spectacular part of the Coma cluster,

How long before it dwindles into a mere apostrophe?

[fruser1]

Looks like a nice place.

a. I don’t know why you put up with us...

b. More proof that Humans are LESS than insignificant in the Grand Scheme of Things.

c. God is STILL on His Throne. :)

Their is no Hubble telescope.

Coma Cluster

The Coma Cluster (Abell 1656) is a large cluster of galaxies that contains over 1,000 identified galaxies.[2][3] Along with the Leo Cluster (Abell 1367), it is one of the two major clusters comprising the Coma Supercluster.[8] It is located in and takes its name from the constellation Coma Berenices.

The cluster’s mean distance from Earth is 99 Mpc (321 million light years).[3][9][10] Its ten brightest spiral galaxies have apparent magnitudes of 12–14 that are observable with amateur telescopes larger than 20 cm.[11] The central region is dominated by two supergiant elliptical galaxies: NGC 4874 and NGC 4889.[12]

The cluster is within a few degrees of the north galactic pole on the sky. Most of the galaxies that inhabit the central portion of the Coma Cluster are ellipticals. Both dwarf and giant ellipticals are found in abundance in the Coma Cluster.[13]

This is an old image. Mars is currently in some other constellation.

Their isn’t?

Incredible image. I'll be visiting this region and hopefully will image it in the future once some pending upgrades are complete. The extreme enormity of this image is likely beyond the imagination of most humans. And I would guess that's what generates most of the childish quips.☺

This is supposedly an image of the Coma Cluster with member galaxies labeled.

Below unlabeled...

Already has and then to a period then nothing. The light that you are seeing is from 300 million years ago.

[dhs12345]

Impressive to think that we might be the only beings able to observe it and understand what it is.

Coma cluster?

300 million years isn't all that much in the lifetime of galaxies.

Stuff like this puts me in awe. Seeing that image, my mind directly traveled many moons back *1997*: A good friend and I traveled from DFW to the Kiamichi Mts. in E. Oklahoma for a couple of days/nights just to view comet Hale Bopp. We stayed up all night both nights just staring and contemplating... It was purely, naturally magical, almost mystical. I was floored at the very least.

No childish quips here ;)

[dhs12345]

Yup. Makes my 70 years give-or-take seem insignificant. Same with the existence of humans which is just a blip in comparison to 300 million years.

Light will still be streaming from Coma when we humans are gone.

We were walking home from an event Friday night and looking up at the sky. The planets were surprisingly visible especially in the small town where we had our event. The fingernail moon... and I could find Mars from its reddish tint.

Or the time that we saw Saturn using our hobby telescope. Thought that there was a smudge on the lens and then we realized that it was the rings that made it look distorted. Very exciting.

ETL,

This is what exists - Read Genesis 1:14

There are no satellites.
