Congratulations to #UNCGphysics alumna Lindsay House on being awarded an #NSF Graduate Research Fellowship! Lindsay is currently an astronomy grad student @UTAustin where she is conducting research on dark energy & dark matter 🤩 @UNCGAlumni@UNCG_CAS
Happy #HubbleFriday! ✨
Tendrils of dark dust threading across the spiral galaxy NGC 7172 obscure this galaxy's luminous heart.
NGC 7172 lies approximately 110 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Piscis Austrinus: https://t.co/r9QpjOuGNZ
Get swept away by the SWEEPS Field. 😉
This #HubbleClassic image shows a dense collection of stars near our galaxy’s core, at a distance of about 26,000 light-years.
