Product Description
"Three
Images from the Hubble Telescope"
consists of three musical meditations on pictures taken through the telescope. The work can be performed with or without
projected images.
I. NGC 4907
The barred spiral galaxy
known as NGC 4907 shows its starry face from 270 million light-years away to
anyone who can see it from the Northern Hemisphere.
II. Interstellar
Comet Borisov
On Aug. 30, 2019, when
amateur astronomer Gennady Borisov gazed upward with his homemade telescope, he
spotted an object moving in an unusual direction. Now called 2I/Borisov, this
runaway point of light turned out to be the first confirmed comet to enter our
solar system from some unknown place beyond our Suns influence.
III. Rose Galaxies
The image
shows a large spiral galaxy apparently attached to another one by a swirl of
stars a rose-like effect caused by the gravitational pull of the galaxy below
it.
The
sprinkling of blue jewel-like points across the top of the larger galaxy is the
combined light from clusters of intensely bright and hot young blue stars.
These massive stars glow fiercely in ultraviolet light.
