“Maffei I and II”的意思、由来-百科全书

Maffei I and II

astronomy

two galaxies relatively close to the Milky Way Galaxy but unobserved until the late 1960s, when the Italian astronomer Paolo Maffei detected them by their infrared radiation. Studies in the United States established that the objects are galaxies. Lying near the border between the constellations Perseus and Cassiopeia, they are close to the plane of the Milky Way, where obscuring dust clouds in interstellar space prevent nearly all visible light emitted by external galaxies from reaching Earth.

Maffei I is a large elliptical galaxy. At about 3,000,000 light-years' distance, it is close enough to belong to what is called the Local Group of galaxies, of which the Milky Way Galaxy is a member. Maffei II has a spiral structure and is about three times farther away than Maffei I.
