Center of the particular galaxy Arp 220 in the Serpent - Heart of the galaxy...

IMAGE number
PIX4613739
Image title
Center of the particular galaxy Arp 220 in the Serpent - Heart of the galaxy Arp 220 - The galaxy Arp 220 (IC 4553) is about 250 million years away - light from Earth. Designee in the 1960s as a particular galaxy, today it is defined as an ultra-aluminous infrared galaxy. The Hubble space telescope photographed its heart in April 1997 in infrared light and discovered that its nucleus had two spiral galaxies colliding. The two nuclei (the two light points in the center) are 1200 light years apart and orbit around each other. This collision caused a tremendous flare of new stars. The Hubble Space Telescope's Near Infrared Camera and Multi - Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) has uncovered a collision between two spiral galaxies in the heart of the peculiar galaxy called Arp 220. The collision has provided the spark for a burst of star formation. The bright, crescent moon - shaped object is a remnant core of one of the colliding galaxies. The core is a cluster of 1 billion stars. The core's half - moon shape suggests that its bottom half is obscured by a disk of dust about 300 light - years across. This disk is embedded in the core and may be swirling around a black hole. The core of the other colliding galaxy is the bright round object to the left of the crescent moon - shaped object. Both cores are about 1,200 light - years apart and are orbiting each other. Arp 220, located 250 million light - years away in the constellation Serpens, is the 220th object in Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. The image was taken April 5, 1997
