Both galaxies lie in the constellation Virgo, but despite <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earing side-by-side in this image they are at vastly different distances from both Earth and one another. NGC 4496A is 47 million light-years from Earth while NGC 4496B is 212 million light-years away. The enormous distances between the two galaxies mean that the two are not interacting, and only appear to overlap because of a chance alignment.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                    Chance galactic alignments such as this provide astronomers with the opportunity to delve into the distribution of dust in these galaxies. Galactic dust\u2014the dark tendrils threading through both NGC 4496A and NGC 4496B\u2014adds to the beauty of astronomical images, but it also complicates astronomers&#8217; observations. <\/p>\n<p>Dust in the universe tends to scatter and absorb blue light, making stars seem dimmer and redder in a process called &#8220;reddening.&#8221; Reddening due to dust is different from redshift, which is due to the expansion of space itself. By carefully measuring how dust in the foreground galaxy affects starlight from the background galaxy, astronomers can map the dust in the foreground galaxy&#8217;s spiral arms. <\/p>\n<p>The resulting &#8220;dust maps&#8221; help astronomers calibrate measurements of everything from cosmological distances to the types of stars populating these galaxies.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            Image: Hubble captures swirling galactic trio\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    NASA&#8217;s Goddard Space Flight Center<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/centers\/goddard\/home\/index.html\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg>\n                                                            <use href=\"https:\/\/phys.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v6\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/>\n                                                        <\/svg><br \/>\n                                                    <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Image: Hubble observes a not-so-close encounter (2022, March  5)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved  6 March 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/phys.org\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-03-image-hubble-not-so-close-encounter.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
