NGC 2217: Stunning Image of Barred Spiral Galaxy Released by National Astronomical Research Institute

The National Astronomical Research Institute page posted an image of the galaxy NGC 2217 from the Hubble Space Telescope and said that the galaxy NGC 2217 or AM 0619-271 271 is a barred spiral galaxy, about 65 million light years from Earth, in the galaxy bhad Canis Major: This galaxy is about 100,000 light years in diameter, which is about the size of our Milky Way galaxy. It has a diameter of about 100,000 light years. causing a glorious beam Surrounded by spiral arms as shown in the picture.

Belts play an important role in the evolution of this type of galaxy. The function of the belts is to transport gas and dust from the galactic disk into the central region. This gas and dust forms new stars. Or it could be fed into a super black hole. (massive black hole) in the center of the galaxy These massive black holes may contain masses between hundreds and billions of times larger than the sun. and are commonly found in the centers of large galaxies

This image combines Hubble data with color data from the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) project. Located in Hawaii, USA, the main goal is to find asteroids and comets that could be a threat to the world.
