Observing programmes such as the one which captured ESO 174-1 help Hubble’s operators get the most out of every last minute of observing time. Many of the myriad objects that Hubble observes can only be seen at certain times of year, which makes filling out the observatory’s schedule a daunting logistical challenge. The programme to capture all of our neighbouring galaxies was designed to use the 2-3% of Hubble time that absolutely no other observing programme can use. In everyday units this is a staggering 40 million million kilometres! For example, the nearest star to the Sun, Proxima Centauri, is about 1.3 parsecs away. A parsec is a unit used by astronomers to measure the vast distances to other galaxies - 10 megaparsecs translates to 32 million light-years - and makes astronomical distances easier to handle. To be more precise, the observations aim to resolve the brightest stars and basic properties of every known galaxy within 10 megaparsecs. This image is part of a collection of Hubble observations that aims to get to know our nearby galactic neighbours. Employees will train at the entry-level Groundman position for a minimum of two weeks. ESO 174-1 lies around 11 million light-years from Earth and consists of a bright cloud of stars and a faint, meandering tendril of dark gas and dust. 3.2 Columbus, OH 43217 (South Central Accord area) 20.50 an hour Day shift + SIGN-ON BONUS.
