What a beautiful shot! About 15 million light-years away, there is a southern constellation named Hydra also home to M83 or Messier 83, or NGC 5236 the spin wheel galaxy

Dr. Monika Soraisam and her colleagues from the University of Illinois used six different filters on a DECam, or Dark Energy Camera. Utilizing special filters they were able to actually select the wavelengths of light to view the sky in meaning different details can now be seen, like dust blocking out the light.

The ability to use Dark Matter cameras now seems a bit too unreal but only time will tell the types of images they will produce and what we will be able to learn from them.

Another gem we come to find is the work being done by the astronomers to create an 'atlas of time-varying phenomena' for the 'Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time', which I can tell will be a bestseller. Technology lights the way again.

I apologize but I have not plagiarized anything from the original article, I did use what I wrote myself on a steemit blog elsewhere in a community forum but it was also written by me.
