Analysing periodic variations in the brightness of certain stars (Cepheids) through photographs, Hubble was able to show that the distance between Andromeda and the Earth was much greater than previously thought. Thus, Andromeda, previously thought to be a nebula, had to be a galaxy different from our own. Suddenly, the estimated size of the universe went from a few hundred thousand light years to a few billion light years. Since then, the synergy between photographic technology and astronomy has continued to grow. 2024 artículo científico 2174-3487 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=511778116008 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511778116008/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511778116008/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511778116008/511778116008.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511778116008/movil https://doi.org/10.7203/metode.14.24625 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5117 Mètode Science Studies Journal application/pdf Universitat de València Mètode Science Studies Journal (España) Num.14 |
