NGC 1024 is a large spiral galaxy of type Sab [1] located in the constellation Aries. Its speed relative to the cosmic microwave background is 3,306 ± 16 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 48.8 ± 3.4 Mpc (~159 million light-years). [2] NGC 1024 was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel in 1786. [3]
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 ...
The James Webb Space Telescope captured images of 19 spiral galaxies in near- and mid-infrared light. - NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Janice Lee (STScI), Thomas Williams (Oxford), PHANGS Team
NGC 7496 was one of the first galaxies to be examined by the James Webb Space Telescope, in June 2022, as part of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS)–JWST survey, whose goal was to study star formation and the interstellar medium in nearby galaxies. [6] The mid infrared images revealed filaments and cavities ...
NGC 4567 and NGC 4568 (nicknamed the Butterfly Galaxies [4] or Siamese Twins [NB 1] [5]) are a set of unbarred spiral galaxies about 60 million light-years away [1] in the constellation Virgo. They were both discovered by William Herschel in 1784. They are part of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies.
NGC 2008 is a distant spiral galaxy located in the constellation Pictor. Its speed relative to the cosmic microwave background is 10,367 ± 11 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 153 ± 11 Mpc (~499 million ly). [1] NGC 2008 was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel in 1834. [2]
NGC 5068 is a face-on field barred spiral galaxy in the Virgo constellation. NGC 5068 is located approximately 22 million light-years away and has a diameter that exceeds 45000 light-years. [2] [3] Although no supernovae have been observed in NGC 5068 yet, a luminous red nova, designated AT 2020hat, was discovered on 12 April 2020 (type LRN ...
PGC 54493 is a barred spiral galaxy [2] located about 490 million light-years away [3] in the constellation Serpens. [4] It is part of a galaxy group called Abell 2052 . [ 5 ] It has an estimated diameter of 140,000 light-years.
