Garcia Marin similarly calls them “a normal phase in the life and evolution of galaxies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that doesn’t mean we see them very often.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s “all about projection,” Garcia Marin explains. She says the reason we see the galaxies in a question mark shape is a result of both the angle with which they have encountered each other and our own point of view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This ‘question mark’ shape figure perfectly exemplifies projection effects when looking at the sky,” she adds. “What we measure is a 2D image of a Universe that is filled with objects spanning time and space. We see their projection; that ?-shaped object is much further away from us than HH 46/47 and it does not have a direct impact on it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she does note one interesting connection between the two phenomena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, she says, the process of galaxies interacting with each other can trigger the formation of stars — “and objects like HH 46/47, the main subject of the image, could be born.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What can it teach us?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1983970\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1983970 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/35/2023/08/ap22193546501073_custom-3adf5f7fe104fd24d17698c09feb39e227780f4b-800x764.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"764\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2023/08/ap22193546501073_custom-3adf5f7fe104fd24d17698c09feb39e227780f4b-800x764.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2023/08/ap22193546501073_custom-3adf5f7fe104fd24d17698c09feb39e227780f4b-1020x974.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2023/08/ap22193546501073_custom-3adf5f7fe104fd24d17698c09feb39e227780f4b-160x153.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2023/08/ap22193546501073_custom-3adf5f7fe104fd24d17698c09feb39e227780f4b-768x733.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2023/08/ap22193546501073_custom-3adf5f7fe104fd24d17698c09feb39e227780f4b-1536x1466.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2023/08/ap22193546501073_custom-3adf5f7fe104fd24d17698c09feb39e227780f4b-2048x1955.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2023/08/ap22193546501073_custom-3adf5f7fe104fd24d17698c09feb39e227780f4b-1920x1833.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An image released by NASA last summer shows Stephan’s Quintet as captured by the Webb telescope. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI/AP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Galaxy mergers generate “all kinds of beautiful shapes and structures,” Garcia Marin says — especially depending on the angle from which they are perceived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example is \u003ca href=\"https://webbtelescope.org/contents/media/images/2022/034/01G7F6AWJNTF1G0ZWP5ESGSFXF\">Stephan’s Quintet\u003c/a>, a visual grouping of five close-together galaxies located in the constellation Pegasus.

He’s involved with public outreach activities that promote the protection of our dark skies. This includes sharing his love of astrophotography through photos and time-lapse videos of the amazing views of our cosmos and organizing workshops about the importance of our dark skies at public libraries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those interested in taking photos of the night sky, Manievannan says you should first understand which camera suits your need and what you are trying to capture. If you’re planning on shooting high-quality images and are ready to make the investment, Manievannan’s advice is to first \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-lens_reflex_camera\">look for a basic SLR or mirrorless camera\u003c/a> with a good wide-angle lens, a camera that can take long exposure shots, like 15 to 30 seconds long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re not ready to make an investment but still want to take some good night shots, he says most camera phones these days can take decent photos of the night sky, and are equipped with night mode functions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second important tip, he says: Make sure you have a camera mount or a tripod. The mounts will help capture those really long exposures, something that can’t be done reliably by just holding it with your hands. \u003ca href=\"https://www.space.com/astrophotography-for-beginners-guide\">Read a detailed guide for astrophotography for beginners from space.com.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/Clk42fCu9_l/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Timing matters, too. Manievannan said his favorite time of year to capture the Milky Way, for example, is the summer, when “you would be able to see the Milky Way rising in the southeast, soon after sunset.” His favorite places to capture the Milky Way are the Sierra Nevada, Bodega Bay, Davenport and Pescadero. He also recommends looking for the Perseids. “The number of meteors per hour is pretty consistent with Perseids, and the meteors are really bright. And then it has a long trail, too, at times,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days he particularly enjoys taking his 7-year-old daughter out to enjoy the night sky. “I’ve been taking her since she was 1 or 2,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manievannan hopes that, especially for Dark Sky Week, while the moon is not as bright, people take the opportunity to step outside to enjoy the beauty of the night sky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To join in the celebration of International Dark Sky Week in the Bay Area, head over to \u003ca href=\"https://darkskypointreyes.com/dark-sky-point-reyes-community-events/\">Point Reyes Station on Wed., April 19\u003c/a>, for a session about light pollution and talks about preserving our dark skies.

He’s involved with public outreach activities that promote the protection of our dark skies. This includes sharing his love of astrophotography through photos and time-lapse videos of the amazing views of our cosmos and organizing workshops about the importance of our dark skies at public libraries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those interested in taking photos of the night sky, Manievannan says you should first understand which camera suits your need and what you are trying to capture. If you’re planning on shooting high-quality images and are ready to make the investment, Manievannan’s advice is to first \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-lens_reflex_camera\">look for a basic SLR or mirrorless camera\u003c/a> with a good wide-angle lens, a camera that can take long exposure shots, like 15 to 30 seconds long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re not ready to make an investment but still want to take some good night shots, he says most camera phones these days can take decent photos of the night sky, and are equipped with night mode functions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second important tip, he says: Make sure you have a camera mount or a tripod. The mounts will help capture those really long exposures, something that can’t be done reliably by just holding it with your hands. \u003ca href=\"https://www.space.com/astrophotography-for-beginners-guide\">Read a detailed guide for astrophotography for beginners from space.com.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"instagramLink","attributes":{"named":{"instagramId":"Clk42fCu9_l"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Timing matters, too. Manievannan said his favorite time of year to capture the Milky Way, for example, is the summer, when “you would be able to see the Milky Way rising in the southeast, soon after sunset.” His favorite places to capture the Milky Way are the Sierra Nevada, Bodega Bay, Davenport and Pescadero. He also recommends looking for the Perseids. “The number of meteors per hour is pretty consistent with Perseids, and the meteors are really bright.
