Cosmic cyclone appears “same” in new photo from Hubble Space Telescope.
NS spiral galaxy NGC 5728 has great power at its center. This structure is located 130 million light years from Earth in the constellation Libra in a unique cosmic class thanks to its energetic core.
NGC 5728 is a Seyfert Galaxy, which means that one of its distinctive features is an active galactic core at its core that glows brightly thanks to all the gas and dust scattered around its center. Black hole. Sometimes the galactic core is busy and luminous enough to outperform the rest of the galaxy in visible and infrared light. But Seyfert galaxies like NGC 5728 are a special treat from Goldilocks, because human machines can still clearly see other Seyfert galaxies.

NS European Space Agency (European Space Agency) This new image was released on Monday (27 September). According to the European Space Agency, which co-operates with NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, the spacecraft used its Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) to capture this scene. A. the official said statement The image depicted here makes it clear that, despite the beauty of this cosmic landscape, there is also a lot going on near NGC 5728 that the camera doesn’t capture.
In the description, the ESA official wrote: “As this image shows, NGC 5728 is clearly observable, and at optical and infrared wavelengths it appears perfectly normal.” “It’s good to know that the center of the galaxy emits a large amount of light in the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is not affected by WFC3!”
It turns out that the galaxy’s iris ‘eye’ at NGC 5728 may actually be emitting some visible and infrared light that cameras would detect if it weren’t for the glowing dust surrounding the nucleus.
