Photographic picture of a Seyfert galaxy
Low estimate
High estimate
(NASA. GRAND FORMAT. HUBBLE. SEYFERT) This photograph shows a spiral galaxy observed using Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). The WFC3 has the ability to observe ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared light, and this image is a composite of observations taken in the visible and infrared. In this image, the observed galaxy looks like a typical spiral galaxy, seen from the side. However, this galaxy hides a fascinating secret: it's a Seyfert galaxy, which means it has an extraordinarily active core, called the active galactic nucleus, which releases as much energy as the rest of the galaxy combined.Vintage chromogenic print. Numbering on front. Legend on back label. 40.6 x 40.6cm with margins.
