... NGC 253 is the jewel of Sculptor. It is a magnitude 7, nearly edgeon spiral galaxy. It is nearly half a degree long and while it can be picked up in binocular, an aperture of at least 100mm is required to just make out the smudge of the spiral arms. A medium aperture telescope will start to resolve ...

Astronomical spectroscopy
Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects. Spectroscopy can be used to derive many properties of distant stars and galaxies, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements.
