Image of “Galaxy NGC 1961”, a spiral galaxy from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. It is about 180 million light years from Earth.
On October 19, 2022, the National Astronomical Research Institute (NASA) released National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) data, the latest image from the Hubble Space Telescope, which is an image of the galaxy NGC 1961. spiral galaxy specifying the details that
This beautiful expansive galaxy NGC 1961 is the latest image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. and the blue glow of the young stars that illuminate the rotating arms around the center of the galaxy.
NGC 1961 is a spiral galaxy. There is a band of stars near the center which is not very bright. It is therefore classified as a “barred” and “unbarred” spiral galaxy, approximately 180 million light years from Earth in the constellation Giraffe. (Camelopardalis) in the center of the galaxy is brighter than other regions.
This is because a supermassive black hole strongly attracts the surrounding material. causing the release of particles and electromagnetic waves and is part of the galactic evolution process.
Astronomers call the center of these galaxies “Active Galactic Nuclei” or “AGN”. Some galaxies may have AGNs that are brighter than the entire galaxy.
The data from the Hubble cameras was processed in this photograph. It was born from a research on 2 themes: the study of galaxies in the Arp catalog which has never been collected before. and the study of stars that could lead to supernovae
