New images of two galaxies, a star cluster and the famed “Pillars of Creation” showcase the value of multi-wavelength astronomy when it comes to seeing the Big Picture.
It’s quite an accolade for NGC 4565, a stunning edge-on galaxy in Coma Berenices that’s also known as Caldwell 38 and the Needle Galaxy, to be widely regarded as the finest in its class.
Some tightly-packed globular clusters show signs of unseen black holes affecting the movements of their stars. Astronomers are using the Hubble Space Telescope to look for evidence of such hidden monsters.
