Summary
editDescriptionNoao-n428wilcox.jpg |
English: NGC 428 is approximately 70 million light years away. Its distorted shape leads astronomers to think that this galaxy may have absorbed another galaxy in its recent history. The many starforming regions and bright blue star clusters hint at the activity present in the disk of this galaxy. The "blob" beneath the galaxy is actually a very colorful triple star system. This image was taken as part of Advanced Observing Program (AOP) program at Kitt Peak Visitor Center during 2014. |
