Spiral Galaxy NGC 1350

This handsome island universe lies about 85 million gentle-years a long way-off in the southern constellation Fornax. Inhabited by young blue principal particular person clusters, the tightly damage spiral arms of NGC 1350 seem to affix in a circle at some level of the galaxy’s colossal, radiant nucleus, giving it the looks of a cosmic stamp. Genuinely, NGC 1350 is about 130,000 gentle-years at some level of. That makes it as colossal or a cramped bit greater than the Milky Come. For earth-primarily based mostly totally astronomers, NGC 1350 is considered on the outskirts of the Fornax cluster of galaxies, but its estimated distance suggests that it is now not itself a cluster member. Obviously, the unparalleled spiky stars in the foreground of this telescopic field of ogle are contributors of our bear spiral Milky Come galaxy.
