Kuwebhusayithi ye-Hubble Space Telescope (NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope) esigabeni esithi “Isithombe Seviki” kushicilelwe isithombe esihle somthala i-NGC 2906.
Into ebizwa ngokuthi iyingxenye ye-spiral. Imithala enjalo inezingalo zemvelaphi yezinkanyezi ngaphakathi kwediski, ezinwebeka cishe ngokwe-logarithmically ukusuka engxenyeni emaphakathi ekhanyayo (iqhubu).
I-Galaxy NGC 2906 itholakala kumlaza i-Leo. Isithombe esiveziwe sibonisa ngokucacile isakhiwo sento, kuhlanganise nemikhono. Ukufakwa okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kuvela ezinkanyezini eziningi ezincane, kuyilapho umbala ophuzi uvela ezinkanyezini ezindala nasezinkanyezini ezincane.
Isithombe sithathwe kusetshenziswa ithuluzi le-Wide Field Camera 3 ebhodini le-Hubble. Le khamera ingathwebula izithombe ezindaweni ezibonakalayo, eziseduze ne-infrared, eduze ne-ultraviolet kanye nezifunda ezimaphakathi ne-ultraviolet ze-electromagnetic spectrum.
Kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi u-April 24 umaka iminyaka engu-30 ncamashi selokhu kwethulwa i-Discovery shuttle i-STS-31 ngesibonakude i-Hubble. Phakathi neminyaka engamashumi amathathu, lo mshini wadlulisela eMhlabeni inani elikhulu lolwazi lwesayensi nezithombe eziningi ezinhle kakhulu zobukhulu boMkhathi.
