Washington – Agencies The Hubble Space Telescope has created a real revolution in the world of space. By taking amazing pictures, the latest of which is a picture of a distant galaxy covered in a ghostly haze, using the Hubble Advanced Camera for Surveys. This galaxy is called NGC 6684, and it is a gibbous galaxy (or a lenticular galaxy), which is a type of disk galaxy, a cross between a spiral and an elliptical galaxy, and is located on Approximately 44 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of the Peacock; According to Russia Today. Lenticular galaxies contain a bulge and a central disk, but they lack distinct arms like those found in spiral galaxies such as our own Milky Way. Lenticular galaxies also usually contain older star clusters; Because there is not a lot of interstellar material in it. This dust and gas is necessary for the formation of new stars. As a result, the galaxies emit a faint light that, combined with their fuzzy structures, appears “ghostly”; According to a statement issued by NASA. The aim of this research is to analyze galaxies, which Hubble has not observed, at a distance of 32.6 million light-years. The Peacock constellation, where NGC 6684 is located, can be found in the southern sky, and it is one of four star clusters; They are collectively known as southern birds. Written by Al-Bilad newspaper, the first Saudi newspaper founded by: Muhammad Salih Nassif on 11/27/1350 AH corresponding to April 3, 1932 AD. It was reissued under the name (Saudi Arabia) on 1/4/1365 A.H. 3/4/1946 A.D.
