barred galaxy – pressnews

[ad_1] NASA’s James Webb Telescope has managed to capture first-of-its-kind galaxies with stellar bars. It has thereby revealed an astonishing space secret. NASA's latest and most expensive James Webb Space Telescope is outdoing the Hubble Space Telescope in every way. That was expected, since the tech on Hubble Telescope is decades old. In the latest development, the images from the James Webb Telescope reveals galaxies with stellar bars—elongated features of stars stretching from the centers of galaxies into their outer disks for the first time. The study says that these galaxies are from the time when universe was just 25 percent of its present age. This means that there were Milky Way Galaxy-type galaxies even as far back in time as that. A space secret that even Hubble was not ab...

[ad_1] Don't write off the Hubble Space Telescope as yet, the old faithful has just captured a beautiful barred galaxy. The James Webb Space Telescope may well be looking farther back in time than the old veteran Hubble Space Telescope ever could with its dated technology, but that is not stopping it from unveiling awesome new secrets out there in deep space. And yes, Bubble Telescope has done it again. Barred spiral galaxies are latecomers to the Universe. Many spiral galaxies have bars across their centers. A barred galaxy is easily distinguishable because of its well-defined central bar and long arms, which spiral loosely around its nucleus. As revealed by surveys, about two-thirds of spiral galaxies, including our own Milky Way galaxy, contain a bar. Recent studies have shown...
