Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2008 January 24 Andromeda Island Universe Tony Hallas Explanation: The most distant object easily visible to the unaided eye is , the great Andromeda Galaxy some two and a half million light-years away. But without a telescope, even this immense spiral galaxy - spanning over 200,000 light years - appears as a faint, nebulous cloud in the constellation Andromeda . In contrast, a bright yellow nucleus, dark winding dust lanes, gorgeous blue spiral arms and star clusters are recorded in this stunning telescopic digital mosaic . While even casual skygazers are now inspired by the knowledge that there are many distant galaxies like M31, astronomers seriously debated this fundamental concept less than 90 years ago. Were these "spiral nebulae" simply outlying components of our own Milky Way Galaxy or were they instead "island universes" distant systems of stars comparable to the Milky Way itself? This question was central to the famous Shapley-Curtis debate of 1920, which was later resolved by

Astronomy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For other uses, see Astronomy (disambiguation) A giant Hubble mosaic of the Crab Nebula , a supernova remnant Astronomy Portal Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects (such as stars planets comets , and galaxies ) and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere (such as the cosmic background radiation ). It is concerned with the evolution, physics chemistry meteorology , and motion of celestial objects, as well as the formation and development of the universe Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences. Astronomers of early civilizations performed methodical observations of the night sky, and astronomical artifacts have been found from much earlier periods. However, the invention of the telescope was required before astronomy was able to develop into a modern science. Historically, astronomy has included disciplines as diverse as astrometry celestial navigation , observational astronomy, the making of calendars , and even astrology , but professional astronomy is nowadays often considered to be synonymous with astrophysics . Since the 20th century, the field of professional astronomy split into
