The Hubble Space Telescope created a real picture in the world of space by capturing amazing pictures, the latest of which is a picture of a distant galaxy covered in a ghostly haze, using the Hubble Advanced Camera for Surveys. This galaxy is called NGC 6684, and it is a gibbous galaxy (or a lenticular galaxy), which is a type of disc-shaped galaxy. It is an intersection between a spiral and an elliptical galaxy, located approximately 44 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of the Peacock, according to Russia today. Lenticular galaxies contain a bulge and a central disk, but they lack distinct arms like those found in spiral galaxies such as our Milky Way. Usually Lenticular galaxies also often contain older star clusters because there is not much interstellar material in them. This dust and gas is necessary for the formation of new stars. As a result, the galaxies emit faint light that, combined with their fuzzy structures, appears “ghostly,” according to a statement from NASA. More News In the case of NGC 6684, this galaxy does not show the dark dust streaks as observed around other galaxies, which contributes to its spectral appearance. The ESA researchers commented that the recent data collected from NGC 6684 comes from a survey of all known nearby galaxies of the nearby universe. This research aims to analyze galaxies not observed by Hubble at a distance of 32.6 million light-years. The Peacock constellation, in which NGC 6684 is located, can be found in the southern sky and is one of four star clusters known collectively as the Southern Birds.copyright:original content: original content
