NGC 1055 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cetus.The galaxy has a prominent nuclear bulge crossed by a wide, knotty, dark lane of dust and gas. The spiral arm structure appears to be elevated above the galaxy's plane and obscures the upper half of the bulge.
The larger spiral, NGC 2207, is classified as an intermediate spiral galaxy exhibiting a weak inner ring structure around the central bar. The smaller companion spiral, IC 2163, is classified as a barred spiral galaxy that also exhibits a weak inner ring and an elongated spiral arm that is likely being stretched by tidal forces with the larger ...
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
The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way but is still about 2.5 million light years away. It is the only spiral galaxy you can see with the naked eye. Irregular galaxies ...
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 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 4689 is a spiral galaxy located about 54 million light-years away [2] in the constellation of Coma Berenices. [3] NGC 4689 is also classified as a LINER galaxy. [2] NGC 4689 is inclined at an angle of about 36° which means that the galaxy is seen almost face-on to the Earth's line of sight. [4]
NGC 7582 is a spiral galaxy of the Hubble type SB(s)ab in the constellation Grus. It has an angular size of 5.0' × 2.1' and an apparent magnitude of 11.37. It is about 70 million light years away from Earth and has a diameter of about 100,000 light years. The galaxy is classified as a Seyfert 2 galaxy, a type of active galaxy.
