The Hubble Space Telescope created a real picture in the space world by taking amazing pictures, the latest of which is a picture of a distant galaxy covered in a ghostly haze, using the Hubble Advanced Camera for Surveys.
This galaxy is called NGC 6684, and it is a convex galaxy (or a lenticular galaxy), which is a type of disc-shaped galaxy, an intersection between a spiral and an elliptical galaxy, and is located approximately 44 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of the Peacock, according to Russia today.
Lenticular galaxies have a central bulge and disk, but lack the distinct arms of spiral galaxies like our own Milky Way.
Lenticular galaxies also usually contain older star clusters because there is not much interstellar material in them.
This dust and gas are necessary for the formation of new stars. As a result, the galaxies emit faint light that, combined with their fuzzy structures, appears “ghostly,” according to a statement from NASA.

In the case of NGC 6684, this galaxy does not display the dark dust lines as observed around other galaxies, which contributes to its spectral appearance.
ESA researchers commented that the most recent data collected on NGC 6684 comes from a survey of all known nearby galaxies of the nearby universe.
This research aims to analyze galaxies not observed by Hubble at a distance of 32.6 million light-years.
The Peacock constellation, where NGC 6684 is located, can be found in the southern sky and is one of four star clusters collectively known as the Southern Birds.
