The Hubble Space Telescope photographed a galaxy with star formation nebulae all around it. The galaxy in question could pave the way for new discoveries about supernovae.
Mankind’s clearest eye into space, until James Webb was launched into the deep darkness of space. Hubble Space TelescopeAlthough he is nearing retirement, he continues to present stunning images from deep space and gather insights that enable us to explore the other end of the universe. The last image Hubble presented was the galaxy NGC 5486, which is almost a star factory.
NGC 5486, an irregular spiral galaxy, is like the Milky Way despite having a bright center. does not have a distinctive shape and in a scattering, thinning structure as it moves away from the centre. However, the latest photo shared by Hubble reveals another feature of this interesting galaxy.
Enormous photo of NGC 5486

If you looked carefully at the photo above, you might have noticed that there are pink glows all over NGC 5486. Every rosy glow in this ‘amorphous’ galaxy 110 million light-years from Earth your stars are yet shows nebulae in the process of formation. Future generations will be able to observe baby stars in these pink dots when they turn their telescopes, much more advanced than Hubble, to NGC 5486.
According to information shared by NASA, the above photo was taken during an observation examining the remnants of type 2 supernovae. A supernova occurred in NGC 5486 in 2004, which scientists also to know more about supernovas They scrutinize NGC 5486 to discover what happened in and after.
