5 Most Bright Galaxies Viewed from Earth

5 Most Bright Galaxies Viewed from Earth | Apparent magnitude (apparent magnitude) of a star, planet, galaxy or other celestial bodies is the measurement of the brightness or brightness that appears, ie the amount of light received from the object. Terms of magnitude as the scale of brightness appeared over 2000 years ago.

Due to the amount of light received depends on the thickness of the atmosphere in the line of observation to the object, then the visible magnitude is normalized to a value that is the value that will be held outside the atmosphere. Increasingly dim an object, the higher the magnitude seems. Keep in mind that the look is not the same brightness with the brightness of the fact - an extremely bright object may appear quite dim if the object is far enough.

The following are 5 brightest galaxies visible from Earth:

5. Galaxies Centaurus A

Centaurus A (also known as NGC 5128 or Caldwell 77) is |

What Happens When the Earth Stopped Moving?

What Happens When the Earth Stopped Moving? | Just calculation, the earth's circumference at the equator is 40,000 kilometers, while for one rotation takes 24 hours. Thus, the speed of rotation at the equator is v = 40,000 km / 24 hours = 1,667 km / h or 463 m / s. Since we are on the surface of the earth, then we are the same circular motion pace with the rate of rotation of the Earth, which is 463 m / s. |
