Image title
Irregular galaxy NGC 6822 in Sagittarius - Irregular galaxy NGC 6822 in Sagittarius - The galaxy NGC 6822 is about 1.6 million years away - light from Earth. She belongs to our local group. Image obtained with a telescope of 35 cm, 12 hours of poses. The irregular dwarf galaxy NGC 6822 is located at only 1,6 million light year. It is a member of our local group and the third nearest galaxy to the Milky Way after the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical and the Magellanic Clouds. The galaxy was discovered by Barnard in 1881 using a 6 inch refractor. It is very similar to the LMC with its weak bar and its irregular distribution of bright OB associations and HII regions. In 1925 in a classic paper, Edwin Hubble reported on several bright objects in NGC 6822, later found to represent a grouping of bright star clusters and HII regions. The galaxy is rich in neutral hydrogen gas, the essential fuel of star formation. NGC 6822 started forming stars some 10 billion years ago. Similar to the LMC it has a large intermediate age population of stars of about 3 billion years old, although the galaxy has picked up its star forming rate over the last 100 to 200 million years. Prominent HII regions and scattered clusters of young blue stars are testament to its current constant rate of star formation. Image taken with 14.5”” RCOS telescope, 12 Hours of exposure
