NASA’s Hubble witnesses a wonderful celestial scene; A Radiant Galaxy Dazzles the Senses – Metro World News Australia

NASA has released a new record for the lenticular galaxy NGC 5283 captured by Hubble telescope.

As detailed by NASA in a statement, NGC 5283 contains an active galactic nucleus, or AGN. An AGN is a very bright region in the galactic core where a supermassive black hole resides.

When dust and gas fall into the black hole, the matter heats up and emits light across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Marvelously capturing a sparkling galaxy, Hubble reveals its majestic cosmic brilliance

NGC 5283 is a Seyfert galaxy. About 10% of the galaxies are all Sieffert galaxies and they differ from other galaxies that have AGNs because the galaxy itself is clearly visible.”

As detailed by NASA, other AGNs emit so much radiation that they obscure or make it impossible to observe the structure of their host galaxy.

Also according to the information, Hubble observed this galaxy as part of the search for a dataset about nearby AGNs, which will serve as a resource for astronomers researching the physics of AGNs, black holes, the structure of the host galaxy, and much more.
