NASA’s Hubble Spots an Out-of-Sync Galaxy - NASA Science
Though the spiral galaxy in this new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope seems serene, it hides a chaotic secret. This galaxy is NGC 4698, and it lies about 55 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It’s one of over a thousand galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, the nearest large cluster of galaxies bound together by […]
Journey to Galaxy NGC 4698 in Virgo—Spinning out of Sync
Journey to Galaxy NGC 4698 in Virgo—Spinning out of Sync | HubbleThis video takes the viewer on a journey through space to a NASA/European Space Agency image of galaxy NGC 4698. It lies about 55 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It is one of over one thousand galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, the nearest large cluster of galaxies bound together by gravity.As a spiral galaxy similar to our own Milky Way galaxy, NGC 4698 has spiral…
The Hubble telescope portrays the galaxy NGC 4698, at 55 million light years, whose core rotates in a plane different from the rest of the disk. The Hubble entry captures the galaxy NGC 4698: its spiral arms turn upside down that the star disk appears first on Merca2.
