Galaxies are the building blocks of the
universe and they come in all sizes some very fascinating shapes have unique
features and very intricate details with over 200 billion galaxies in the observable
universe scientists and astronomers have identified some truly bizarre galaxies
out there think shapes like dolphins tadpoles or even a galaxy named vermin
welcome to fact nominal and today we will be taking you on a galactic journey
to discover some of the most unusual yet fascinating galaxies that lie beyond
our milky way
Reuben's galaxy
Astronomers Have Now
Discovered An Unusually Large Spiral Galaxy That Could Quite Possibly Challenge
A Lot Of Things We Thought We Knew About Spiral-Shaped Galaxies As Of Now It
Has Unofficially Been Named As Rubin's Galaxy After Vera Rubin's Observation Of
Ugc 2885 The Galaxy Features A Spiral Structure Dusty Arms Pink Signatures Of
Ionized Hydrogen Blue Glittering Stars Along The Arms And An Undisputed Flat
Even Disc What Is Truly Spectacular Is That The Formation Of This Galaxy Is
Thought To Be Either By Gas Accretion Minor Mergers Of Galaxies Or Even Both It
Is Somewhat Of A Cosmic Rarity And When A Study Was Conducted By A Group Of
Researchers Using The Hubble Space Telescope They've Found More Evidence Of
Gradual Accretion Of Gas Even The Environment Surrounding The Behemoth Galaxy
Does Not Have Any Large Structures That Could Have Possibly Been The Reason For
Its Extended Spiral Structure Reuben's Galaxy Is Truly Enormous And It Is One
Of The First Galaxies In The Universe That Is Relatively Isolated Having One
Stable Nucleus And Relatively Slow Star Formation It Is Truly A First Of Its
Kind Comparable Only To The Pinwheel Galaxy And There May Not Be Another Quite
Like It .
The Hidden Galaxy
One Of The Most Mysterious Of Them All The Hidden Galaxy Also
Called Ic342 It Is Proven To Be A Difficult Target To See And Study Lying Just
Near The Equator Of The Milky Way's Disk Here The Sky Is Very Thick With Cosmic
Ass Bright Stars And A Whole Lot Of Dust Making It Difficult To See This
Spiral-Shaped Galaxy The Galaxy Is Said To Be Only 10.7 Million Light Years
Away From Earth Which Is Relatively Closer To Us Than The Others The Colorful
Images Of The Galaxy Prove That It Is Actively Producing Stars And Could
Possibly Be One Of The Brightest In The Sky But It Is So Hard To Actually Spot
It's Not Easy To Tell The Fact That We Are Unable To Fully Study And Observe
This Galaxy Even Though It Is Very Near To Us Just Like The Andromeda And The
Triangulum Galaxy But Much Larger Than Them Just Adds To The Intrigue Recent
Hubble Photos Have Even Shown How Bright It Is Against The Dark Sky Glittering
Like Diamonds With Some Reddish Cloud Formations The Hidden Galaxy Is Certainly
An Unusual Galaxy That We Hope To Learn More About .
Cosmic Yeti
The Discovery Of This
Galaxy Was One Of The Most Exciting Finds For Astronomers And Scientists As
This Monstrous Galaxy Happens To Be Very Very Old At First It Was Extremely
Difficult For The Scientists To Make Out The Old Galaxy Because It Seemed To
Almost Be Hidden And Also Not Having Any Light That Was Linked To Any Known
Galaxy Upon Further Observation And Close Study They Soon Discovered That This
Is In Fact A Galaxy And A Very Mature One Calculations Have Shown That Light
From The Galaxy Took About 12.5 Billion Years To Reach Planet Earth Which Means
That This Galaxy Could Possibly Have Been Formed Roughly About 2 Billion Years
After The Big Bang This Strange Space Yeti As It Is Fondly Being Called Is So
Much More Than Some Cool New Discovery But Could Potentially Answer Some Really
Big Questions In Cosmology That Have Been Plaguing Us For Years It Is Said To
Be Huge And Monstrous And Could Possibly Be Shooting Out New Stars At 100 Times
The Rate Of The Milky Way For Years This Galaxy Has Been Hidden Right There Amidst
The Dust And Debris Of Space But Now That We Know It's There Astronomers Are
Hopeful That The James Webb Telescope Will Be Able To Peer Through The Dust
Veil And Allow Us To Learn How Big This Galaxy Really Is And How Fast It's
Growing .
Space Candy
In Terms Of The Galaxies Nc
2336 Happens To Have It All It Is The Perfect Trifecta It's Big Beautiful And
Blue It Has Been Given The Title Of The Most Beautiful Galaxy Ever Discovered
And We Can't Really Disagree Images From The Hubble Telescope Clearly Show The
Beauty And Sheer Extravagance Of This Barred Spiral Galaxy Stretching Out About
200 000 Light Years Across And 100 Million Light Years Away In The
Constellation Of Camilo Pardales It's Safe To Say That If Space Had Its Very
Own Beauty Contest This Galaxy Would Be The Clear Winner It's Not The Biggest
Galaxy Ever Discovered But It Definitely Leans Towards The Larger Side With
Large Spiral Arms Adorned With Young Stars Each Visible With Their Luminous
Blue Light It's Not Hard To Know Why This Galaxy Is So Special And Stands Out
Among The Rest At The Center Of The Galaxy The Reddish Color Comes From The
Older Stars German Astronomer Wilhelm Temple Discovered It Back In 1876 And
Named It The Quintessential Galaxy Using Only An 11-Inch Telescope Too Bad That
It's So Far Away That Even If We Were Able To Make A Spaceship That Could
Travel At The Speed Of Light It Would Take Us At Least 100 Million Years To
Reach This Galaxy In Other Words Not Even Our Ancestors Were Alive At The Time
That The Light Reaching Earth From This Galaxy Today Was Emitted By The Galaxy
.
The Weird Neighbor
It's Almost Unheard Of That Larger
Galaxies Could Be Both Elliptical And Spiral At The Same Time But Then Again
Space Is A Strange Place And Centaurus A Proves Just That This Odd Galaxy Lies
In The Constellation Of Centaurus From Which It Derives Its Name And Happens To
Be Just 12 Million Light Years Away From Earth Centaurus A Is Filled With Thick
Dust As Seen In The Images Of The Dark Energy Camera In Chile Images Reveal The
Warping In Its Disk And Its Magnetic Fields Which Seem To Point Towards The
Fact That It May Have Had A Massive Collision With Another Galaxy In The Past
Which Has Left Its Mark On Centaurus A It Has A Massive Active Black Hole Right
In The Center Which To Put Into Perspective Is About 55 Million Times The Mass
Of The Sun In Fact The Black Hole Has Its Very Own Colossal Jets Expanding
About Thousands Of Light Years Into Space As It Actively Devours Whatever
Material Comes Near It These Plasma Jets Are So Bright And Because It's So
Close To Earth It's Very Impressive To Observe And Convenient To Study
Discovered Way Back In The Year 1826 It Is Still Actively Being Studied To This
Day As There Is Still Lots Of Debate On The Galaxy's Fundamental Properties
What's Really Cool Too Is The Fact That It Has Its Very Own Dwarf Galaxies
Orbiting Around It Similar To How The Planets Orbit Around The Sun In Our
Galaxy We May Actually Have A Lot More In Common With Centaurus A Than We
Thought I Often Wonder If There Are Some Species On Centaurus A Eagerly
Watching Earth Well As Long As This Galaxy Doesn't Plan On Chowing Down On The
Milky Way Any Time Soon It's Totally Fine With Me So What Do You Think Which Of
These Galaxies Is Your Favorite Do You Know.
