The Hubble Telescope captured an incredible view of the spiral galaxy NGC 1672 in the constellation Doradus, where billions of stars sparkle.
The Hubble Space Telescope has spotted a strange spiral galaxy, NGC 1672, located in the constellation Doradus, 49 million light-years from Earth.
According to the European Space Agency, the galaxy is notable for having billions of stars that generate bright flashes of light. The two large arms of the galaxy, rich in hydrogen particles, glow red with many young stars, and the center of the galaxy is an active nucleus with a massive black hole beneath an accretion disk halo.
In the image, two bright stars can be seen near the center, surrounded by a ring of hot gas and emitting X-ray waves. The main feature of the image is supernova N 2017GAX – the result of the explosion of a giant star, which looks like a green dot just below the bend of the right spiral arm.
It was previously reported that NASA’s James Webb Telescope took a picture of the young star cluster NGC 602, located 200 thousand light years from Earth.
