Hubble telescope captures spectacular picture of spiral galaxy

2 min read

The Hubble Space Telescope captured this spectacular picture of the spiral galaxy NGC 1961 that includes glittering blue areas of younger, brilliant stars dotting the panorama of the galaxy’s dusty spiral arms.

NGC 1961 is situated about 180 million light-years away within the constellation Camelopardalis. It is classed as an intermediate spiral galaxy and as an energetic galactic nucleus. Intermediate spirals fall in between “barred” and “unbarred” spiral galaxies. They would not have a well-defined bar of stars at their centre.

Active galactic nucleus galaxies have very brilliant centres that far outshine the remainder of the galaxy at particular wavelengths. It is probably going that NGC 1961 has a supermassive black gap at its core, churning out the winds and brilliant jets that form the galaxy.

Take within the new view! 😍

Last week, NASA revealed a shocking picture of a supernova remnant utilizing information from Hubble and the Chandra X-ray telescope. NASA scientists used information from Chandra, Hubble and the company’s retired Spitzer Space telescope to “rewind” the star’s explosion and located clues about how way back the stellar explosion occurred and concerning the setting of the star earlier than the explosion.

Earlier this month, the area company launched a James Webb Telescope picture of the “Phantom Galaxy,” formally often known as M74. The Webb picture revealed delicate filaments of fuel and mud within the spiral arms within the galaxy and the dearth of fuel at its centre gave a transparent view of the nuclear star cluster.
