NASA shares stunning image of spiral galaxy with well-defined central bar and long arms

NASA on January 15 shared a spellbinding photograph of cosmos barred spiral galaxy,  a spiral galaxy kwn for its central bar-shaped structure which is composed of a myri of stars. Taking to its official Instagram handle, ncy wrote, “At a distance of 67 million light-years away, NGC 613 is a stunning example of a barred spiral galaxy. It’s easy to distinguish galaxy as such because of its well-defined central bar and long arms, which spiral loosely around nucleus.” 

According to NASA, NGC 613 galaxy was first discovered in 1798 by German-English astromer William Herschel. galaxy was observed by amateur astromer Victor Buso while he was testing a new camera on a telescope in 2016. A curious spot of light caught his eye which was originating out of a superva in sourn constellation of Sculptor 67 million light-years away with two stellar nuclei that were emitted apart by a stream of dust. Later observed by NASA and ESA Hubble Telescope, NGC 613 was dubbed as barred galaxy by astromers owing to its well-defined central bar and long arms that riated out of nucleus.

Evolves into elliptical galaxy

“As revealed by surveys, about two-thirds of spiral galaxies, including our own Milky Way galaxy, contain a bar,” NASA explained in a release. arms of barred spiral galaxy influence motions of stars, dust, and gas. Galaxy’s peanut-shaped bars pull galactic material used for star formation into nucleic disk, resulting in a lightning burst. Barred spiral galaxy would eventually evolve into an elliptical galaxy, according to school observatory. cosmos lovers were rendered awestruck by unique structure of barred spiral galaxy with a stunning ribbon of stars and gas. “re’s gotta be life out re in such a vast universe,” one wrote. “Do we kw why some galaxies get in that shape actually?” Ar asked. “re’s probably a galactic civil war happening somewhere in re,” third joked.
