The Hubble Space Telescope continues to impress even though it is getting a lot of press lately, and it is an example of a barred galaxy located about 214 million light years away from Earth.
The most common type of galaxies in the universe is the barred one, which is made up of 70% of the total. Gas and other material is fed into the core of the galaxies through the bars.
As the more mass that is funneled to the galactic core, the more unstable the bar becomes, the more traditional spiral formation can be formed.
There are the best Hubble Space Telescope images.
According to the image description by NASA, the most recent photo of NGC 6956 was to look at variable stars, which are stars whose luminosity varies between bright and dim at regular intervals. We can calculate the variations in apparent brightness to the stars actual brightness, which allows us to determine their distance from us.
Since there are few other ways to determine the distance of extragalactic objects, this is a very important way to do it. The product of a white dwarf star exploding as a result of accretion matter from a companion star is an interesting feature of NGC 6956.
Astronomers are able to measure how quickly a supernova dims in order to determine the distance from Earth. An important tool for understanding the current rate of expansion in the universe is the measurement of the distances of the extragalactic objects.
