There is a bright red star formation in the picture.
The Hubble Space Telescope has a new photo. According to a statement from the European Space Agency, which is a partner on the mission, NGC 1156 has a unique structure that is unlike anything else in the universe.
The new Hubble image shows a spiral galaxy with thousands of bright stars, but it lacks the characteristic winding structure. It has a diffuse glow similar to an elliptical galaxy and its core of older, redder stars.
There are the best Hubble Space Telescope images.
The areas of intense star formation that are represented by the red blossoms are where the galaxy's energy comes from. There is a red glow from the ionized hydrogen gas outflows.
A central bulge made up of older, dimmer stars surrounds a flat, rotating disk of hot young stars in a spiral galaxy. Young stars are not contained in the telltale spiral arms of the galaxy, which is why it has a densely packed center with older generations of stars. Astronomers have classified it as a dwarf irregular galaxy due to its lack of a distinct shape.
The galaxy is classified as isolated because no other galaxies are close enough to affect its shape or star formation.
The new image was taken as part of a program that aims to fill a gap in observations of nearby stars.
According to the statement, only three quarters of the galaxies within just over 30 million light-years of Earth had been observed by Hubble in sufficient detail to study the makeup of the stars within them. The proposal was that Hubble could take snapshots of the remaining quarter. The best use of Hubble's time is ensured by gap-filling programs.
