NGC 1961 is situated about 180 million light-years away within the constellation Camelopardalis. It’s categorized as an intermediate spiral galaxy and as an lively galactic nucleus. Intermediate spirals fall in between “barred” and “unbarred” spiral galaxies. They don’t have a well-defined bar of stars at their centre.
Energetic galactic nucleus galaxies have very shiny centres that far outshine the remainder of the galaxy at particular wavelengths. It’s doubtless that NGC 1961 has a supermassive black gap at its core, churning out the winds and shiny jets that form the galaxy.
Final week, NASA revealed a surprising picture of a supernova remnant utilizing knowledge from Hubble and the Chandra X-ray telescope. NASA scientists used knowledge from Chandra, Hubble and the company’s retired Spitzer Area telescope to “rewind” the star’s explosion and located clues about how way back the stellar explosion occurred and in regards to the setting of the star earlier than the explosion.
Earlier this month, the area company launched a James Webb Telescope picture of the “Phantom Galaxy,” formally referred to as M74. The Webb picture revealed delicate filaments of fuel and dirt within the spiral arms within the galaxy and the dearth of fuel at its centre gave a transparent view of the nuclear star cluster.
