The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a beautiful view of the spiral galaxy, punctuated by the glow of two nearby stars.
NGC 5495 is 300 million light years away a land, behind the jewel-like sphere on the upper left of the galactic center, and the other on the right. These are the stars inside Milky WayEarth galaxies, such as NGC 5495, are spiral galaxy.
According to the European Space Agency (ESA) – which has written a description of the galaxy’s “remarkable sweeping spiral arms” In the image of the new NGC 5495 (Opens in a new tab) Posted September 26 – 60% of the galaxies are spiral galaxies (Opens in a new tab). This means that most of the stars in the universe are found in galaxies like ours, or as we see in the new Hubble images.

ESA officials write that NGC 5495 is a galaksi sievert (Opens in a new tab). This is a galaxy that has activity within it. The most extreme version of active galaxy nucleus (Opens in a new tab) (AGN), called quasar, is the brightest object in the known universe. This type of bright galactic core is powered by giant black holewhich astronomers believe is at the center of most if not all galaxies in the universe.
When this gravitational hole collects a lot of material from the outside, the material heats up and begins to glow. The galaxy NGC 5495 does not belong to the class of quasars, but is still considered a failed active galactic nucleus.
The Galaxy NGC 5495 is also great because it is oriented comfortably, allowing you to clearly see the main arm and the coil arm. Although the spiral galaxy NGC 5495 is not very visible from this perspective, it is likely surrounded by halos above and below the galactic disk. For reference, the corona is a patch of light surrounding the belt of the Milky Way that appears in the night sky.
Astronomers believe in spiral galaxies finally growing (Opens in a new tab) in elliptical galaxyobjects with older stars and less gas.
