Barree spiral galaxy NGC 1365 in the Furnace - Barred spiral galaxy NGC 1365 in...

IMAGE number
PIX4609836
Image title
Barree spiral galaxy NGC 1365 in the Furnace - Barred spiral galaxy NGC 1365 in Fornax - NGC 1365 is a barree spiral galaxy that extends over 200,000 years - light. Located 60 million years ago - light, it belongs to the cluster of galaxies of the Furnace. Image obtained in 1999 by the European telescope Antu of the VLT in Chile. NGC 1365 is one of the most prominent “” barred”” galaxies in the sky. It is a supergiant galaxy with a diameter of about 200,000 light - years, seen in the direction of the southern constellation Fornax. It is a major member of the Fornax Cluster of Galaxies. The distance is about 60 million light - years. A massive straight bar runs through this galaxy and contains the nucleus at the centre. It consists mostly of older stars that give a reddish colour to the bar.The gravitational perturbation from the bar causes interstellar gas and dust clouds to form a pair of spiral arms that extend from the ends of the bar. Young luminous hot stars, born out of the interstellar clouds, give these arms a prominent appearance and a blue colour. The bar and spiral pattern rotates clockwise, as seen from us. One full turn takes about 350 million years. Image combined from three exposures with the FORS1 multi - mode instrument at VLT UT1, ANTU
