[漢羅] 捲螺仔星系 NGC 1398 ê 星系環 kah 星系棍仔

是按怎有一寡捲螺仔星系 ê 中央有環？ 捲螺仔星系 NGC 1398 ê 中心，有一輾恆星、氣體、塗粉 組成 ê 環，有一支 恆星 kah 氣體組成、迒過星系中心 ê 星系棍仔，閣有較倚外口、有花樣 ê 捲螺仔手骨。 這張 tī 智利 El Sauce 天文台 翕 ê 深空影像，有翕著這个大型捲螺仔星系足清楚 ê 細節。 NGC 1398 tī 6500 萬 光年 遠 ê 所在，意思是講，光離開這个星系 ê 時陣，差不多是 地球 ê 恐龍消失彼陣。 這个 美麗 ê 星系，只要用細台天文望遠鏡 向 天爐座方向就看會著。 中心附近 ê 環 應該是恆星形成過程中，密度波 變較闊 ê 結果。 會按呢可能是伊 kah 其他星系 ê 引力 互相影響，抑是星系家己 重力無平衡 造成–ê。

[English] Rings and Bar of Spiral Galaxy NGC 1398

Why do some spiral galaxies have a ring around the center? Spiral galaxy NGC 1398 not only has a ring of pearly stars, gas and dust around its center, but a bar of stars and gas across its center, and spiral arms that appear like ribbons farther out. The featured deep image from Observatorio El Sauce in Chile shows the grand spiral galaxy in impressive detail. NGC 1398 lies about 65 million light years distant, meaning the light we see today left this galaxy when dinosaurs were disappearing from the Earth. The photogenic galaxy is visible with a small telescope toward the constellation of the Furnace (Fornax). The ring near the center is likely an expanding density wave of star formation, caused either by a gravitational encounter with another galaxy, or by the galaxy’s own gravitational asymmetries.
