The James Webb Space Telescope has captured new detailed portraits of 19 spiral galaxies filled with millions of stars and glowing gas and dust. ‘Mind-blowing’ new images reveal 19 galaxies ...
NGC 7496 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Grus. It is located at a distance of about 60 million light-years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that it is 75,000 light years across. It was discovered by John Herschel on September 5, 1834. [3]
NGC 2566 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Puppis.Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1898 ± 19 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 91.3 ± 6.5 Mly (28.00 ± 1.98 Mpc). [1]
In one picture, Euclid captured a group shot of 1,000 galaxies in a cluster 240 million light-years away, against a backdrop of more than 100,000 galaxies billions of light-years away. A light ...
It is the brightest cluster galaxy of the galaxy cluster, WHL J143845.0+145412. [4] The galaxy acts as a gravitational lens for a much more distant spiral galaxy which is called SGAS J143845+145407. [2] [5] This creates a mirror image of the galaxy thus creating a masterpiece. [5]
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 ...
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.
UGC 2885 (Rubin's Galaxy, [10] nicknamed "Godzilla galaxy" [11]) is a large barred spiral galaxy of type SA(rs)c in the constellation Perseus.It is 232 million light-years (71 Mpc) from Earth and measures 463,000 ly (142,000 pc) across, making it one of the largest known spiral galaxies.
