NGC 6744 (also known as Caldwell 101 or the Pavo Galaxy [3]) is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Pavo (Peacock). Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 802 ± 3 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 38.6 ± 2.7 Mly (11.82 ± 0.83 Mpc). [1]
NGC 2207 is in the process of colliding and merging with IC 2163. But unlike the Antennae or the Mice Galaxies, they are still two separate spiral galaxies. They are only in the first step of colliding and merging, with NGC 2207 being in the process of tidally stripping IC 2163. Soon they will collide, probably looking a bit more like the Mice ...
NGC 5495 is a very large barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Hydra. [1] [2] Its speed relative to the cosmic microwave background is 6,989 ± 20 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 103.1 ± 7.2 Mpc (∼336 million ly). [3] [4] NGC 5495 was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel in 1834.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured new detailed portraits of 19 spiral galaxies filled with millions of stars and glowing gas and dust.
NGC 5965 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Draco. It is located at a distance of circa 150 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 5965 is about 260,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel on May 5, 1788. [3]
The morphological classification is SB(r)ab, [4] which indicates it is a barred spiral with an inner ring structure and moderate to tightly wound arms. [5] It is situated in physical proximity to the galaxies NGC 4291 and NGC 4386 , with X-ray emissions from the intervening gap indicating NGC 4319 and NGC 4291 may be interacting . [ 6 ]
NGC 4535 is a barred spiral galaxy located some 54 [3] million light years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. It is a member of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies and is located 4.3° from Messier 87. The galactic plane of NGC 4535 is inclined by an angle of 43° to the line of sight from the Earth. [4]
