EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Spiral galaxy NGC 2841, as captured by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Located approximately 46 million light years away in the constellation Ursa Major, this galactic wonder never fails to leave us in awe. NGC 2841 boasts a unique feature - a weakly active nucleus known as a low ionisation nuclear emission-line region (LINER). LINERs are distinguished by their spectral emission lines originating from weakly ionised or neutral atoms. This characteristic adds an intriguing element to this already fascinating celestial object. The HST image beautifully captures the intricate details of NGC 2841's spiral arms and its countless stars that adorn its galactic disk. Its flocculent spiral structure is truly a sight to behold, showcasing nature's artistic brilliance on an astronomical scale. As we gaze upon this stunning photograph, we are reminded of the vastness and complexity of our universe. The Hubble Space Telescope continues to unravel mysteries and expand our understanding of astrophysics through such breathtaking images. This remarkable print is brought to you by Science Photo Library, serving as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about the cosmos and our relentless pursuit of knowledge in astronomy.
