NASA. The researchers who work for the American space agency have made a surprising, but extremely important discovery, which reveals to us what else is hidden in outer space. More precisely, using the Spitzer telescope, those from NASA discovered a new galaxy that is at a distance of 44 million kilometers from Earth, but we are talking about one that would be perfectly aligned with the planet we live on.
NASA. Although the Spitzer telescope can discover planets that are very far from the earth, unfortunately it cannot see them in any kind of orientation, and the image below shows the only perspective. The galaxy that NASA discovered was given the name NGC 5866 by the researchers, but perhaps it should have received one from Star Wars, since it resembles a sword used by the Jedi.
GODMOTHER. AMAZING Discovery Announced by Researchers
NASA. The diameter of this galaxy is approximately 60.000 light-years, i.e. a little over half of its diameter Milky way, so it is smaller than the one we live in. Because of the perspective in which NASA saw this galaxy, only its edge can be seen, without the internal structures, i.e. the planets, and it is not even known at what distance they are from the star that provides their light, like our sun.
NASA. The researchers say that it is quite difficult to analyze this galaxy with great care because of the perspective from which it is visible at the moment, so it is unlikely that we will soon find out what is hidden in it. Of course, as the telescope changes its position, it is possible that NASA will be able to analyze this galaxy, but everything depends on how the orientation changes, and if it does so long enough.
NASA. The Spitzer telescope orbits around the earth, so it can detect galaxies tens of millions of kilometers away, but they are still quite difficult to analyze.
