Barree spiral galaxy NGC 1097 in the Furnace - Barred spiral galaxy NGC 1097 in Fornax - Located at a distance of about 45 million years - light, NGC 1097 is the object of intense star formation and is an active core galaxy with a supermassive black hole in its heart. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope provides us with a spectacular image of the bright star - forming ring that surrounds the heart of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1097. In this image, the larger - scale structure of the galaxy is barely visible: its comparatively dim spiral arms, which surround its heart in a loose embrace, reach out beyond the edges of this frame. This face - on galaxy, lying 45 million light - years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Fornax (The Furnace), is particularly attractive for astronomers. NGC 1097 is a Seyfert galaxy. Lurking at the very centre of the galaxy, a supermassive black hole 100 million times the mass of our Sun is gradually sucking in the matter around it. The area immediately around the black hole shines powerfully with radiation coming from the material falling in. The distinctive ring around the black hole is bursting with new star formation due to an inflow of material towards the central bar of the galaxy. These star - forming regions are glowing brightly thanks to emission from clouds of ionised hydrogen. The ring is around 5000 light - years across, although the spiral arms of the galaxy extend tens of thousands of light - years beyond it. NGC 1097 is also pretty exciting for supernova hunters. The galaxy experienced three supernovae (the violent deaths of high - mass stars) in the 11 - year span between 1992 and 2003. This is definitely a galaxy worth checking on a regular basis. However, what it is really exciting about NGC 1097 is that it is not wandering alone through space. It has two small galaxy companions, which dance the dance of stars and the dance of spa
