Non-chaotic, non-irrational, concentric arcs are obvious in oval shape
which could be a distended circle or giant
hoop ring inexorably growing more irregular.

GIANT OVAL IN DEEP SPACE NEAR ANDROMEDA
Click on image for large surprise.
A giant oval in deep space near Andromeda is large enough to
warrant its own description, here.
M100 SUPERSTRUCTURE
Super spiral galaxy M100 has a massive
superstructure in diffuse low radiant mass surrounding it to
a rather large distance. Chance lucky combination of blue Color
enhancement, then Histogram Equalize, reveals the
superformations in some detail - as most noticable by looking at the
Dss original (third view right).
A comparison of two different levels of
blue Color enhancement each adjusted by Histogram Equalize and patched
together side by side in combination makes it plain that a superstructure
exists. The superstructure ranges as far as the remote small galaxy
seen above M100. In the Dss original the remote
small galaxy sits at some distance from M100.
In its principle form, a major scyth circumvents the outer right and
upper outer realm, in a wrap almost as succinct as if made by a potato
coring auger, as if the brighter M100 is sitting on a larger scalloped
potato ship. The greater outer scyth of matter is not seen in the
Dss original here.
An evasive (let's call it illusive) coherency seems to occur in
the manner of spokes spreading radially in deep space textures
away from the outer right edge of the superstructure scyth. These
radials are being called illusive because they can be better seen
in the high 'optics' of a graphics editor but when saved and displayed
in the low DPI of an Internet browser, the radial spokes are less
distinct.
This shows the radians as well as can
be seen in the blotchiness of Histogram enhancing, as well as
making abundantly clear an arrow heading west. Read on.
A DARK HOLE - AND AN ARROW HEADING WEST
Notwithstanding, other Comsically engineered objects at M100 are clearly
seen, for instance a large dark hole above to the right, and an
arrow vectoring straight west whose shaft is a lineal string of white
objects seemingly spinning off from the upper end of M100. These deep
space anomalies are further explored at this
site. Dark holes are further studied at
this site. The gravity well is well seen around M101.
A thin string-like trail seems to cut a path at a shallow angle between
the dark hole to offscreen right. In truth
the string is not fair because some of it at least is parallel black
cracks by the graphics editor 'Histogram' adjustment fighting the image
not quite sure what to do with the content ie an extremely narrow long
string at very low resolution. Here you can
see toward the right end of the string some parallel cracks forced by
the editor's low brain juices.
The M100 superstructure images above have been shown in reduced size
for clarity onscreen since images of this nature can be ragged and
hard to discern when shown full sized at 2119 x 2119 resolution (or
portion) in a browser. It is assumed that anyone really interested in
these images can download their own M100 1st generation images from Dss
(for instance at
this Dss site) and go to work enhancing the images their own way
to suit curiousity and intent, hopefully leading straight to pleasant
discoveries.
An M100 superform was early detected by Australian astronomy/photographer
who applied extreme high contrasts in film developement stages to reveal
large white objects of extremely dim (low
radiant) masses surrounding M100 which itself (M100 - the brown inner
swirls) swelled to enormous proportion made of a dim mass surrounding
the optically bright well known inner galaxy. The superform, Malin's
version, can be viewed in context here,
and mine can be viewed here.
LUCKY STRIKES
A sweep of the spectrum, photographing M100 and its deep space
surrounds, might be extremely revealing. The sweep would include as
many Ultra Violet frequencies as possible (with the brighter part of
M100 filtered or dampened to prevent obliterations by overlight. The
sweep would include the Optical frequencies as if taken by a Kodak
color camera rather then by select single red, blue, and green
spectrum lines.
The sweep would continue through near Infra Red into whatever far Infra
Red is available that reveals anything useful. All of these sweeps are
then composited into a master data matrix, which is then swept like the
indicator of a radio moving from left to right finding stations. There
should be spikes in the sweep through 'stations', holding higher level
contents. The noise will be filtered out, like electronic noise filtered
out by Dolby. These spikes can then be isolated and composited to form a
final image. It would be interesting to see what results in terms of one
lugi of a humongous superstructure in deep space, with M100 the visible
bright light galaxy at center focus. (A prediction).
OVAL DEEP SPACE STRUCTURE AT NGC 5532
Click for large image
Click for extra large image
The oval deep space rill structure occupies roughly (120x180)
arcminutes, it is roughly (2x3) times a typical Dss image plate
which is 60x60 arcminutes.
This super large gravity wave rill structure shows up only in the
wide band spectrum spread photo emulsion of a Dss 1st generation image.
There is no trace of the rills in either of the Dss 2nd generation images
(red and blue).
Source galaxy Ngc 5532 (whose histogram enhanced image first revealed
rills to my rather amazed surprise - let loose a yelp I did), is too
small to be recognized in the sharply reduced image composite above.
The original is a 1st generation 60x60 arminute frame. You can see
the original (and enhanced) images by clicking on the next two clicks.
Ngc 5532 is a small galaxy object with a very small nearby companion,
seen in the original.

TWO OVALS NEAR EACH OTHER AT ARP 220
Arp 220 is this object, seen as a smudge center
screen in a Dss original and as merely a dark dot in midscreen in the
'preview' screen captured image showing the gravitic oval as plain as
day.
Now it gets really interesting. There is a second irregular oval,
nearby, to the left of the oval first spotted.
Beside us are a strip of three screen captured 'previews' showing the
two ovals and amount of separation between them.
This is the first instance I have seen of two gravitic ovals visible
in a single frame.
The left and right hemispheres of my brain are still struggling with
the existence of those dark holes, two of which are in the above Dss
image. Are these real, or image plate flaws. If real, there are a lot
of them out there and represent a cosmic
celestial form unlike anything currently under studies by astronomers.

Click to see the left gravitic oval full scale.
You know the stance, cringing grinning foolishly looking up. I feel a
bit like that right now regards ovals such as the neighbors above. The
problem is that Arp 220 is a small guff of fluff floating around on its
own in the Milky Way galaxy not too far away from us at Earth. The ovals
are consistent with sizes which also overlay galaxies far away, and that
is the problem, the ovals overlooking Arp 220 dwarf a small nearby
object in a large template of background space.
Which means that other ovals for instance which overshadow galaxies
may also be nearby, not in the same plane in the distant universe as
is the overshadowed galaxy.
If nearby, what are they. And secondly, are there gravitic ovals which
also occur - being then stupendously large - residing far away in universal
space in the same plane where they overshadow a galaxy, or even a galaxy
cluster, such as Perseus.
No, I do not have eyeballs staring like two full moons, either.
A DEEP SPACE GIANT OVAL - THIS IS NEAR SPIRAL GALAXY NGC 3310
Near spiral galaxy Ngc 3310 the corner of
a large oval appears when a Dss original
image is enhanced by Histogram Equalize, Ngc 3310 is small and centered
midscreen in the original below a large bright false-light
circle. A thin streak barely glimpsed in the
original, is not a meteor or satellite trail my guess is it is a
rodent or human hair.
Here is a different Ngc 3310 image,
blue enhanced, showing unusual disorders and faint chaotic arms at
conciderable distance around the main bright galaxy object (Dss
original at right). It means that deep space here is or has been
impacted.
EXPLORING THE GIANT OVAL
What caused the chaotic yet coherent rings,
since they seem totally not a telescope lens or light hem which are
invariably more or less perfectly circular, precisely defined, and
completely false in a telescope image. See Example 1
further below where the hems of totally non-chaotic, non-irregular,
false concentric arcs are obvious.
IMAGE 1
The whole oval fits within a single Dss 60' x 60 arcminute'
frame, which also displays a large
dark hole just below and to the left
of the oval, the dark hole in this comparative
picture (in equal scale for the dark hole left, and galaxy Ngc 3310 right)
is as large as spiral galaxy Ngc 3310, but true sense of scale as to size
of this dark hole is not obvious in the Dss
picture itself, since it cannot be seen at a glance if the hole's location
is near or far, distance effecting its apparent size, nor tellable is if
it is a deep space object manufactured by Cosmic Physics, either absorbing
light, blocking light, or not radiating light.
A sizeable drop in image density is seen
in the upper corner in this frame in the Ngc 3310 region, representing
(it might be assumed) sheeting in
deep space where denser low luminous drifting matter edges a cooler or
thinner matter boundry.
Closeup of some of the rills in the oval reveals
a texture within and crossing the rills, a quality not found in spurious
crosses centered in circles on bright stars or bright objects and caused
as junk image errors by refraction in the lensing of a telescope.
Closeup of the dark hole reveals nothing new
except it is bright inside (has a warm center), and hints of outlines
which could be colliding galaxies writhing rightward.
There is no way of telling (in the limits of these low resolution
images) if the giant oval (shown here again)
is nearby at the depth of Ngc 3310 thus perhaps associated with Ngc 3310,
is further away, is close up in the Milky Way, or somewhere in between.
If at the Ngc 3310 depth and all tracking of motions confirms, it could
be possible that space impacting involving Ngc 3310 occured at a prior
epic (perhaps a major high speed collision) with enough bang to produce
shock waves (now seen as the giant oval spreading out), the shock waves
now moving at a different rate than the original sourcing impact, the
sourcing impact leaving the scene moving at a faster clip away to the
right and seen now as Ngc 3310 - just a creative writer's fanciful
imagination but this kind of scene could be correct if not proven
impossible, for instance by determining if the giant oval is real,
then detertimining its distance away from us in deep space relative
to Ngc 3310. You do the work. I sit at home before a white door used
as a worktable surface with PC computer on it and do all work at home
in the computer. With such impoverished technicalities it is impossible
for me to guage or scalar the giant oval, shown
here again, with small seeming spiral galaxy Ngc 3310 in the center
of the image).
In fact, if the Histogram enhanced Dss image
(shown again) is trustworthy, swirls can be seen around the right of
Ngc 3310 as if around the head of a comet, and a wide cometary tail
can be seen arcing back in a curve to the oval. This deep space
disturbance trail can be used to judge exact motion eastward of
Ngc 3310 at least from a 2 dimensional point of view (west to east)
but if the mean motion in depth is desired a photoshowing the trail
of disturbance in great detail will be needed. Probably no comet head,
no comet tail.
GIANT SWATH MADE BY NGC 3310 IN DEEP SPACE, LEAVES A TRAIL BACKWARD
THROUGH TIME
A large image shows a broad swath rising
from the bottom of the frame to Ngc 3310, the swath widening the further
away toward bottom, which is physically correct for the path of an object
its trail slowly widening and dissipating over time in the same way a
jet aircraft's smoke contrail continues to grow from a thin stream of
smoke to a widening roil in the time you watch the far away plane as it
passes slowly over head.
The broad path continues to widen backward through time, as seen in
these preview (thumbnail size) images which show Ngc 3310 at the head
of the swath, Ngc3310 small and black at the top of the swath in the
two left views, from this image which is
shifted down in declension with Ngc 3310 in mid screen near the top.
It satisfies me that Ngc 3310 has created the broad sweeping swath
widening southward. This then raises the spector all over again as
to what caused the giant oval.
MORE GIANT OVALS
Here (left image) is a small bright object
zoomed from a Dss black and white image near galaxy M100, in which the
telescope's 4-way struts centered over the hot object
enhance into a large white blur, a vague dark hole to the left,
and the hem of something appreared in the upper left, a fragment of a
huge irregular balloon of brighter texture not associated with any bright
feature in the center of it. This balloon
seems neither a giant circle, nor oval (right image).
Here it is in a larger frame. Notice two
dark holes, top and bottom, top near the upper right hem a dark hole
roughly the size of a small spiral galaxy. Massive spiral galaxy M100
is not visible in this shifted Dss frame, M100 is offscreen further to
the right. Here is the space between the
balloon (left) and M100 offscreen to the right, there seems nothing in
this intervening space to connect the balloon to M100.
The cell wall seen as a sheet is enormous. See it next in context
with a normal sized large galaxy, in this case M100 seen very small
hard to the right in the black and white original, seen as enormous
supersize in the Histogram enhancement right.
Of possible interest to astronomers is a small galaxy seemingly cutting
a path through the lower edge of the oval,
the small galaxy seemingly surrounded by a collar of
circular rings as if departing the oval at cosmic equivalent sonic
boom speed creating gravitic waves spreading out around itself as it
passes through the denser mass of the hem.
It means that this oval is either an indistict deep space artifact of
great physics, or is a false giant diffraction circle being interacted
by false play of light from the small galaxy.
For this reason (possible coherent object), the original and enhanced
M100 Dss images are being offered full size.
Click here for M100 Dss original full size (2119 x 2119).
Click here for M100 Dss enhanced full size (2119 x 2119).
PONDERED CONCIDERATIONS
Because of lack of a conciseness (only one, not two close together
concentric rims of bright extreme narrowness), and its somewhat irregular
shape, it is possible to deem this instead of being a giant circle, as
an oval having only one peak-and-valley rill, in other words just
one single large radial shock wave spreading out.
Here is another view, doctored by strong blue
Color tone adjustment, Luminance, and a drop in Brightness countered
by an increase in Contrast such that an outline of the oval is visible
with the small galaxy clearly in an apparent interact with the oval's
lower rim, the small galaxy seems to have stretched or dragged the
lower rim. I dismiss personally directed arguements about this in
not knowing if this oval is manufactured by Cosmic Physics or by
chance occurrence in the Dss telescope system. Traces of a second
rill seem to occur in concentric nesting
around the inside left hemisphere which further strengthens arguements
for gravitic shock waves of a stupendous cosmic boom in its source,
origin, nature.
THE ARROWHEAD
This shows a portion of M100,midscreen
against the right edge, showing the distance between M100 and the
balloon (looming in the upper left of the frame). Notice in this
enhanced view the arrowhead vectoring to the left, the arrow's shaft
a straight string of hot small objects originating at the top of M100
a half portion of which is hard over at the right.
The galaxy M100 deep space arrowhead is
featured in this link. Notice the large
dark hole in the upper right region of deep
space near M100. What is manifesting the dark
hole? I can guess at dark galaxies, these may
be galaxies which have endured a collision of whatever kind it might take
to disrupt normal star birth and arm patterns leaving a great deal of low
luminant obscuring dust with little in the way of active stars on the
surface layers. It would make an interesting sci fi movie - "When Daytime
Ended". More realistically, concider Orion and
the number of intense bright giant stars revealed in frequencies which
penetrate beyond Orion's visible light surface layer.
Pushing enhancements of the low resolution image to extreme limits brings
out a vague indication to an artifact of seeming thin straight lines and
some sort of center in the upper right of this
image the vague indication looks somehow tied to the dark hole.
Problems of low resolution images are paramount you simply do not know
exactly what you've got witness the famed 'Face On Mars' spotted in an
extremely low resolution image back in the early satellite days, the
existence of a 'face' put away altogether by
this more recent high resolution view of
the same place revealing no saint, even though, in small size, the new
photo does resemble slightly a face.
The tie that binds the M100 dark hole to the vague indication of a
coherent artifact is best seen here shown
again this time with attention pointed to the tether.
As for the 'arrowhead' your guess is as
good as mine. I would write it abruptly off as a co-incidence were it
not for the vector of hot small clumps leading from the top of M100's
superstructure heading straight west to the arrow, this makes it a
double whammy, just a little too accute to be coincidental. Very
faintly, you can just make it out in the normal ranges of enhancements
for this lower resolution image, faintly the
M100 superstructure is also glimpsed, as are radials to the right.
A GIANT OVAL NEAR NGC 1608
Another giant oval, in a 1st generation Dss
image of galaxy Ngc 1608, irregularly surrounds
two very faint elliptical galaxies toward the
frame's right border. Ngc 1608 itself is so small in the image it can
hardly be seen in the image center. Here is
a larger view of the giant oval.
A galaxy breaching the oval edge seems co-incidental.
Here is a comparative view of two enhancements of the Ngc 1608 oval,
(both images to the right - an M100 view at the left) in this case the
views rotated by 180 degrees so that a small galaxy at the top of the
Ngc 1608 image is now at the bottom edge of the oval, seen side by side
with a different small galaxy (left) this being that near
M100 ploughing through the balloon hem and seems to be causing
concentric ripples like a virtual reality
bullet bursting through dimensions, whereas the small galaxy in the
Ngc 1608 oval image may be a sumperimposing
overlay of two separate artifacts in deep space, since no distortions
seem caused at the rim of the Ngc 1608 oval by the presence of the
small galaxy.
IMAGE FLAWS IN THE DSS NGC 1608 PICTURE
A straight edge seam across the lower
portion of the picture seems to be where two different photos were
patched together by astronomers. Note the black
spot, it is devoid of content, it seems exactly expected from a dot
of solution on the negative or print or bad spot in the film, it seems
not engineered in cosmic phsyics, that is the impression surprise us
all if I am wrong.
Here is another view of the oval,
this shifted left by reducing the image's RA from (04 32 06.10) to
(04 29 46.10), which shows what seems to be deep space turbulence
from the right leading into the center of the giant oval.
Once again, rules without road rage apply. The image cannot tell us
where the giant oval is actually located. Is it a smoke ring over
the Bahamas, focused over Jupiter and Saturn in conjunction, is it
far beyond Neptune with the Sat/Jup conjunction in the foreground.
In deep space is it even associated with the two small elliptical
galaxies which seem its center. Like I said, the usual rules apply,
without road rage.

without round shape are pointing to the center of Vega.

TELESCOPE LIGHT-REFRACTORY GIANT CIRCLES
EXAMPLE 1 - NEAR NGC 2915
Example1 is of a perfectly circular and precise telescope 'hem'
of giant size overlaying a chunk of deep space.
Giant circles are different than ovals in having sharp lines as if
scribed by a compass. Spherically precise is the rule for giant circles.
Giant ovals have broader bands and are clearly not scribed as if by
compass. Ovals in various forms are shown beginning
here, and continue working downward through the above descriptions.
Deep space giant circles of many kinds are too concise to be ovals.
For instance in the above Dss 1st generation 60' x 60' archminutes frame
of Ngc 2915, the leading edge of a giant circle
appears toward the right border when the
original Dss image is enhanced by Histogram Equalize. Ngc 2915
is the small pill shaped spack in mid screen.
Click here for Ngc 2915 Dss original full size (2119 x 2119).
Click here for Ngc 2915 Dss enhanced full size (2119 x 2119).
The original RA (Right Ascension - horizontal plane) and Declension
(vertical shift) of the 60' x 60' Dss archminute photo of this galaxy,
is [09 26 11.30] and [-76 37 30.00], with J2000, for a 1st generation
image. (Click
here to go to the Dss image download site).
The odd thing about such a large light circle is it seems to have
no point of center, there is no bright object in the middle of the
circle to have caused the circle by telescope false refractoring.
This light circle was caused by something else entering the view.
When the RA (Right Ascension) of the image is shifted leftward and
Declension shifted up, the almost complete
circle appears within a single Dss 60' x 60' frame. In this
shifted image, galaxy NGC 2915 is a small bright oval deep in the
lower left of the frame. The leftward shifted RA, and vertical
Declension revealing the big circle, are [09 20 45.00] and
[-76 12 30.00].
Please know that all Dss images herein were
downloaded
in .GIF file format, which saved as .Htm extensions. Later,
the extensions were all changed to .Jif at home.
CONCISE VRS COHERENT
Such a circle as this in question at Ngc 2915 is deemed 'Concise'.
Concise means too sharp edged to be anything other than a telescope
artifact by point sources of bright light arbitrarily diffracting
(refracting - some astronomers use the word 'diffraction', others use
the word 'refraction', diffraction seems the more commonly used word)
through the lens. In this (and other) giant diffractions to be
investigated here, most do not have false diffraction crosses shaped
as plus signs centered over their bright centers, some do. It makes
one wonder if light from a passing headlight or aircraft struck
the lens causing such large rings.
Circles are also deemed distinct from giant ovals
which are irregularly shaped, can have multiple concentric rills with
peak and valley ridges and no apparent point of center within the oval,
such as this other one near Andromeda.
HERE, THERE, NOT EVERYWHERE
In a surprising turn of events, the Ngc 2915 giant circle vanishes and
a new part hemisphere appears (this time arcing around behind NGC 2915)
with just a trivial RA shift further to the left. For example, here again
is the concise giant circle at co-ordinates
09 20 45.00 and -76 12 30.00. And here a new
concise arc with the giant circle vanished, at 09 20 44.70 and
-76 12 30.00. The change in RA is only 00 00 00.30, with no change
in Declension. Why such change? My only logical guesses can be a
change in the way Dss is dishing parsed image portions at that
boundry, or this is a boundry to another Deep Space plate perhaps
taken by another telescope used in the (now historical) overall
Dss survey.
Furthermore, an image very minutely shifted (so minute the shift can
barely be discerned in comparing two RA co-ordinate images side by
side), can result in a noticable difference in image media density,
one image a touch brighter than the other, all other factors being
more or less the same. Why Dss frames do this (shift in density,
shift in data) through small RA changes, is a mystery to me so I
shall comment no further except to say it takes more work (by far)
to find the end-ranges of an artifact in a Dss image due to the
sleazy way Dss images tend to shift data and density through
small, and very small, RA shifts.
In comparison side by side, these two identical views should be more or
less identical but are not the right one slightly brighter with more
details. The two versions in large size are offered in the advent you
are able to display two large images side by side for comparison on a
large screen.
Click on images for two large versions.
As you can see, the right hand version seems to have more deep space
media than the left, but common sense tells me that if filtering out
the space noise from spurious pixels, both images should have the same
densities.
The Ngc 2915 giant circle has no meaningful center, that is, no bright
star or object, no whorls or further circles, no coherent substance of
any kind. Light rims from chance entry via a telesope's lensing system
usually surround a brighter overlaying star nearby in our Milky Way, or
other particularly hot object in a distant galaxy. Here, at Ngc 2915,
there is nothing. Perhaps an auto winding up the road to the
telescope cast its headlight past the telescope at just the wrong
moment. (The question is - what causes giant light rings without
hot centers in telescope images).
GIANT CROP CIRCLES
Now t h i s is a giant light
circle. It is in a Dss 1st generation image
of Ngc 2207, called the 'fish', the fish is the
white blob in midscreen.
This spicy little item turned up
here in the Dss original. Hey, no comment on what it might be even a
drop of sweat if not another Cartwheel galaxy comes to mind.
I wanted a centered image of the crop circle but had to settle for
this, the Dss jukebox kept spitting out
space shifted versions of Ngc 2207 which has no trace of the crop
circle, so I gave up. (Dss calls their call to order image dishing
method 'the jukebox' - a very aptly named Internet application - and
when swamped or down, prompt 'the jukebox is busy, try again later').
In this Dss original, ghosts of the
crop circle can be seen crossing the Black sea backdrop. It seems
(prosecuting a mystery) that more than one teleshot was taken of the
'fish' by Dss doing 1st generation, and that the telescope was shifted
between takes, the lensing aberration causing the crop circle shifting
by a huge parallax while the 'fish' image remained centered shifting
hardly at all. Actually, nighttime sky rotation during a long photo
sequence easily explains the angles of the
wedges.
A huge statter splash in a Dss image of the Hydra Galaxy Cluster.
This statter splash is less self evident as to cause, than is the
splash in The Giant Crop Circle in Ngc 2207 above.
LIGHT RINGS NEAR NGC 5236
Here are typical light rings around two bright
nearby stars in a zoom of a Dss image of galaxy Ngc 5236, which looms at
the right seared white by Histogram Equalize. The Dss
original contains them.
LIGHT RING NEAR NGC 5128
Here is another ring this kind blurry and
somewhat indistinct, not prisine. It is in a Dss
original near galaxy Ngc 5128 (not in this frame), as a bright
nearby star. When enhanced by Histogram Equalize a part giant
circle appears, as well, the original bold solid star transforms
to a very blurry bright 'smuts' artificially made in the telescope,
indicating that a dominant smear of far reaching radiantly dim light
has been amplified around the bold solid star.
LIGHT CIRCLES AS AMPLIFYERS AND MAGNIFYING GLASSES
Notice how much more information can be seen in the halo of light
surrounding this very bright star named S Mon in the Cone Nebula
Ngc 2264, as displayed by
APOD. It looks like light amplification of details within the light
halo is occuring, certainly it is true when the light halo is highly
enhanced, that diffuse and halo details look substantially different
then when seen in the dim original view (left).
IMPORTANT FACT
If you have not already seen it, click here
to bring up a large image triplet, and notice in the second pane how
very strong blue enhancement (plus red) has revealed how the red tongues
in the upper right are overlaying the blue drifts and light halo which
lays behind, the egde of the tongues perfectly outlined by the blue
proving that blue drifts and star S MON lay to the rear, with blue
drifting forward into the foreground in the lower right, an
interpretation verified by viewing the next two images in stereo
by focusing the two images together in overlay.
Where star S MON is located, in the Cone Nebula.
These above are two earlier views by AAT of the Cone Nebula, the left
showing star S MON and the tip of the cone at the bottom of the frame,
the right showing the Cone in closeup. The above new
closeup showing the bright star, is undoubtedly helpful to
astronomers given the poor quality of the star's halo seen in the
earlier AAT image.
Left, this image shown further above, a seeming
light amplifying ring surrounds a foreground star near giant spiral
galaxy Ngc 5236. More Ngc 5236 can be seen here.
HYDRA
Next is another example of a light amplifying halo, featuring Hydra.
Large light circles around a bright nearby object can be used to
amplify and enhance information within the circle that lays in the
distance behind.
For instance a view of the Hydra galaxy
cluster happens to have a prominant circle of light around a bright
object. When enhanced, a much larger circle
emerges from the dim medias in the photo and within the larger circle
significant details of information laying behind the circle are seen.
A sense of gravitational lensing can be inferred, in a subtly bolder
density in the media which rings the circumpherence that becomes the
enhanced larger circle.
Albiet there is distortion (as there usually is in gravitational
lensing). Nevertheless those details would otherwise not be seen,
except in the circle's amplification. I do not say the amplification
is caused by gravitational lensing since it seems improper to believe
a star could so magnificently amplify by lensing effects of gravity.
On the other hand how come such amplification? Theorists, sharpen your
pencils.
Mine is sharpened. Is it possible light itself can positively
re-enforce dimmer light so it is radiant light around a bright
star causing the amplification. My pencil is dull again.
In fact I am not sure if the solid bright large dot is a nearby
overlaying star, or a hot galaxy at Hydra. Searches on the Internet
for Hydra galaxy cluster images do not yield any other than ones that
show a solid white dot at that upper left location in the images.
Here is a color image which shows a giant
star-like object which dwarfs the sizes of the two tete-a-bete elliptical
galaxies central to Hydra. In this color view there is no indication
of a halo around the bright object, or
any sign of a light ring, which tells us at once that light rings
and amplification are a factor of photographic ranges and are not
cosmically stamped in iron - a clear cut example of peek-a-boo cosmology,
first you see it, then you don't. In the color view the bright object
itself is about the size of the halo
seen in the black and white photo. So, W H A T is the halo in the
black and white view?
Here next are Hydra views side by side for comparison. The first,
at left, is the original, the other two views are two different
enhancements each showing different textures in details within the
light circle . By focusing these images together as virtual stereo
pairs you can see in an instant how small object distribution
in an around the large galaxies forms in streams, rivers, and
drifts of sheeting.
INTERESTING PERSEUS GALAXY CLUSTER
As an aside, tossed in for interest, this virtual stereo view of the
Perseus Galaxy cluster even more shows smaller galaxies orbiting, and
streaming in entropy flows in organized parades, around and between the
super giant ellipticals. These views are from this
page in which a circular formation with radians deemed herein a
'radial rosette' and made entirely of galaxies appears prominantly
coherent in the deep space region at upper right.
3D stereo overlay reveals that small objects do indeed cluster and involve
with the large ellipticals, even clinging to their atmosphere envelopes
like sperm heads imbedded in eggs, and other small objects stream in
coherent rivers around and about and in between the giant ellipticals.
The whole scene evokes dream works from a science fiction motion picture
factory.
BACK TO THE HYDRA GALAXY CLUSTER
The Hydra galaxy cluster includes colliding galaxies
Ngc 3314 seen in large expose at this link,
and as the very small submarine being wrangled by an octupus toward the
lower left in this AAT large image.
STRANGE VIBRATIONS
Another, strange looking galaxy radiating in blue and seen as a larger
object near midscreen in the AAT image, is one for which I have never
seen a name specified, nor seen this galaxy itself profiled in any
astronomy site on the Internet. I have been able to enhance a view of
it from a Dss deep space image and, giving it my best shot, show it
here with the name 'strange8.jif' because
it is such a strange looking galaxy, and this is the 8th in a list of
strange items I was taking a closer look at months ago.
A stereo glimpse, by focusing the two side by side above images to
produce a 'virtual stereo' view, reveals
that the long straight spike arising along the right side of the core
is more or less angled straight up, whereas the leading edges of the
twin blue arms arcing from the top around and down the left flank are
sharply canted toward us.
AAT telescope images from Australia typically do not enhance well nor
expand well in zooms since the originals usually are already handled by
image engineers to the max. The same is true for this AAT Hydra image.
Zoom has not explanded details of the strange galaxy, just expanded it
into a blurrier version, but blue/red tone adjustment has made some of
the expanded details slightly more succinct.
Above is a 'virtual stereo' view of the strange galaxy in black and white
as zoomed from the Dss original and vigorously enhanced by myself to
come to a compromise between blurriness and details. As you can see
(if focusing the two images together to form a stereo view), the
galaxy topology is the same as seen in the above AAT stereo view,
except (seen at once in stereo) the inner upper arm winds tightly
in an arc back in behind the core, it is not continuous as is suggested
by the AAT image.
A Dss 2nd generation (blue) image casts different shadows and lights
on the strange galaxy. For instance, we can see in stereo that it is
quite edge on.
The Hydra Galaxy Cluster is also officially known as Abell 1060.
Ahhh hahhh hahhhh ahhhhhhh! - the sound of jubulation ringing maniacally
through the teeming dense aborial jungle in the middle of the night.
Thank you thank you oh thank you. It was well near the end of the second
hour and so stubborn was me in going to find the name of the strange
galaxy. You try it, find that name. All of a sudden up comes a page
talking sense. The only other sense encountered that seemed to be talking
is that the Hydro Galaxy Cluster is within range of the notorious 'strange
attractor'. You do the search, I tried not long ago and did not find a
description of the 'strange attractor' other than how profound it was,
over and over, a few times, hardly any - noticable by the absence of
links to it on the internet but stange attractor was not the target
the 'strange' galaxy was and I'll be dammed if a name attached to it's
image could be found anywhere. Click.... click.... click.... click....
it was near the end of the second hour and....
Here is the link to the 'thank you' site, where, linked
Hydra 1 cluster, all of a sudden here onscreen galaxies of the Hydra
Galaxy Cluster clearly labelled, so now I know the name of the strange
galaxy is Ngc 3312. At last back to work.
Next is a Chandra
X-ray image of the center of the Hydra Galaxy
Cluster the image running amok on the internet with
captions like 'Chandra ploughs up a snake in Hydra A' ?
My image versions are below, enhanced not to show temperatures and
thermal x-ray distribution but rather as much content as possible about
the amount of X-rays in Hydra and the X-ray's overall distribution. For
instance the two views show progressively more coherent formations in
the white filaments lacing the inner area snaking out to long distances,
these lacings perhaps similar to lacings - in low visible light levels
- of rubble strew running in strings of debris at
Perseus A in the Perseus Galaxy Cluster, caused most certainly by
high speed collisions.
There is an interesting elevation of scholarship regards the Hydra
galaxy cluster (besides the great attractor), but it will take an
enthusiast some scholarship to pin down the scholarship. To begin,
next is a Chandra view showing a radio telescope output overlayed
atop the Chandra X-ray view.
Then, a three image composite showing radio, X-ray, and optical except,
near the bottom of this
Chanda page is a comment that images are not to scale?, and, if
eyeball to eyeball is correct, the Hydra galaxies shown in blue in the
Chandra composite below do not match the labelled Hydra galaxies shown
in the 'thank you' image above, which may not be a surprise in that the
Hydra galaxy cluster is supposedly quite spread out with over 100 galaxies
drifting around in clumps.
A Rosat
X-ray view of the Hydra galaxy cluster shows very bright galaxies
which match the patch of clumped galaxies shown in the 'thank you'
labelled image above.
This via Rosat would seem to be an optical image virgorously enhanced by
Rosat image engineers. It is not instantly obviously which or if X-ray
relief lines match the X-ray densities in the above chandra image, and
Chandra sources do not seem to be providing a relief map or overlay
composite showing where the Chandra X-rays match Hydra galaxies.
It gets busier and busier. Check out the celestialphysical information
at this
site. Labelled image 1
Labelled image 2 Labelled image
3 there seems no doubt a lot of work
went into the preparing of these charts, but then, something happened
to them making them unreadable, and yet, enthusiastic enthusiasts use
them to show enthusiasm to others. The labelling is hard to read but
shows that labelling is an extensive part of celestialphysical sholarship.
The labelling is so hard to read I could not find Ngc 3312.
Super massive chaotic galaxy Ngc 5236 is
supposed to be in Hydra but I do not know where, because of labellings.
Its like Netscape internet browser after being taken over by Microsoft,
everything is there, but everything is designed to thwart the user at
every turn forcing the user into Internet Explorer, which users like
me do not want. Everything is there in Hydra astronomy but ends up
thwarting the user at every turn.
Add to the scholarship (confusion) that there are also Hydra star clusters
and Hydra globular clusters all named with Messier labels. These clusters
have nothing whatever to do with the galaxy clusters. This, all of it,
all that is called Hydra, is what I mean about scholarship. Forgot to
mention that Hydra is called Hydra because it is in the direction of
the Hydra constellation in the Zodiac sky.
Chandra provides this (above left - shown full size) as a test case on
how to maximally minimize an image. It gets worse, Seds provides the
following map for Hydra. Hmmmm.
Why all this uttering (nonsense to some) is that the Hydra situation is
the first bash I got into, trying to find the name of the
'strange' galaxy whose name turned out to be Ngc 3312. But, curiosity
tweeked, it was then time to find the location of galaxy Ngc 5236. Ziltch.
This, the above utterings, is the kind of thing I encountered at every
turn.
A time past was similar, trying to find a simple all purpose text
editor. More and more, through the 80's into the 90's, text typing
programs became more and more brain exploring in designs and concepts,
forcing the program's users into upgrade courses at colleges lasting
a month to 6 months just to use them, and, still, no simple all purpose
basic text typing editing program has arrived on the scene in the
computer universe. Someday?
