The Hubble Space Telescope made a real revolution in the world of space. He has captured stunning images, most recently of a distant galaxy shrouded 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 disk galaxy. It is a cross 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; Since there is not a lot of interstellar material in it.
This dust and gas are necessary for the formation of new stars. As a result, the galaxies emit a faint light that, combined with their fuzzy structures, appears “ghostly”; According to a statement from NASA.
This research aims to analyze galaxies, which Hubble has not observed, 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 it is one of four star clusters; They are collectively known as southern birds.
