- sorae – NGC 105, a gently swirling galaxy in the constellation Pisces, photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope
This image is the spiral galaxy “NGC 105” introduced by sorae in the January 4, 2020 article.
NGC 105 lies regarding 215 million light-years away in the direction of Pisces. Another galaxy called ‘LEDA 212515’ can be seen in the immediate upper left, and the two galaxies appear to be close enough to collide. However, since LEDA 212515 is located even further than NGC 105,interacting galaxyThe distortion of the shape like is not seen.
