ESA noted that it could not fully assess the features of this galaxy because it is partially hidden behind a line of dark dust.
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of the spiral galaxy IC 4633, located 100 million light-years away in the constellation Apus. This was reported by the ESA Observatory.
IC 4633 is noted to be a galaxy with high star formation activity, as well as an active galactic nucleus. It is tilted more toward Earth, giving astronomers a good enough view to look at its stars.
At the same time, ESA noted that they could not fully assess the features of this galaxy, because it is partially hidden behind a strip of dark dust. This dark nebula is part of the Chameleon star-forming region, located only about 500 light-years away in the nearby Milky Way galaxy.
In the visible part of the galaxy you can see a disk consisting of many tightly twisted spiral “arms”. On the left side of the disk, bright areas of star formation can be seen. The entire right side and the middle part are covered by a big cloud of dark gray gas.
It was previously reported that the Hubble telescope captured an image of two galaxies interacting with each other.
