Scientists discovered mysterious galaxy NGC 7456; Located 51 million light years away from Earth

NGC 7456 can be seen in the constellation Grus i.e. Crane. In the pictures taken from the Hubble telescope, a bright band is seen in its middle, which tells how the stars were formed here in the first place.

New Delhi: In the mysterious world of space, there is a galaxy called NGC 7456 which is about 51 million light years away. To the naked eye, it looks like just a blurred oval shape, but for scientists, this galaxy contains a big story of the birth and development of stars.

NGC 7456 can be seen in the constellation Grus i.e. Crane. In the pictures taken from the Hubble telescope, a bright band is seen in its middle, which tells how the stars were formed here in the first place. Its outer parts have loose spiral arms, where stars and dust are spread beautifully.

NASA started a new program
NASA has recently started a new program, in which the gas and dust of this galaxy is being studied. In this, scientists are getting pictures of the places where new stars are being formed. Cold and dense clouds of hydrogen gas have also been seen here, which are in the process of combining to form stars.

Apart from Hubble, the European Space Agency's (ESA) XMM-Newton satellite has also seen this galaxy. It has found many extremely bright X-ray sources (ULXs). These are small but extremely dense bodies, which emit X-rays far beyond their capacity.

Scientists are doing research

Scientists are still trying to understand what is the secret of their power. Along with this, the area around the giant black hole in the center of the galaxy is also unusually bright and active.

Whether you see NGC 7456 in visible light or in X-rays, this galaxy looks amazing from every angle. Scientists believe that this galaxy will continue to attract researchers with its mysterious features for years to come.
