In a significant development, NASA has discovered a giant spiral galaxy named NGC 3227. According to the US space agency, this galaxy is encased in a “gravitational dance”, along with NGC 3226, which is believed to be an elliptical galaxy. The two galaxies are collectively called Arp 94.
The two galaxies are about 50 and 60 million light years from Earth and are located in the constellation Leo. A pair of galaxies are associated with faint tidal currents of gas and dust in their dance, and the space agency has also discovered that NGC 3227 is a sievert galaxy. This type of galaxy consists of a supermassive black hole at its center that collects metal that emits large amounts of radiation.
Researchers believe that about 10 percent of all galaxies could be sieverts. In particular, this discovery was made by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, while studying both galaxies to measure the mass of black holes, while looking for gas at the centers of galaxy clusters. In the image, the red part shows the wavelengths of red and near infrared light.
According to the report, researchers are trying to figure out why galaxies are often classified into two categories. They are modern star-forming spiral galaxies such as the Milky Way or older elliptical galaxies. In particular, galaxies such as NGC 3226 have intermediate transitions, giving researchers the opportunity to study transitions from one galaxy to another.
So far research has revealed that numerous gas rings with stars have emerged from NGC 3226. Threads from them up to NGC 3227. This evolution suggests that other galaxies may have been there until NGC 3226 scattering galaxy fragments around the globe. . nearby area.
One of these remains spans 100,000 light years and extends to NGC 3226 and it ends up in a column of warm hydrogen gas and dust. This tail is located in galaxy 3226, which is attracted by the gravitational pull of the black hole at its center.
