IMAGE number
PIX4612895
Image title
Interacting galaxies NGC 6090 - Interacting galaxies NGC 6090 - The galaxy NGC 6090 is located about 400 million light years away from Earth in the constellation of the Dragon. This interacting galaxy consists of two spiral galaxies whose nuclei are distant from 10,000 light years. This system is halfway through its merger process. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on November 12, 2005. NGC 6090 is a beautiful pair of spiral galaxies with an overlapping central region and two long tidal tails formed from material ripped out of the galaxies by gravitational interaction. The two visible cores are approximately 10,000 light - years apart, suggesting that the two galaxies are at an intermediate stage in the merging process. The Hubble image reveals bright knots of newborn stars in the region where the two galaxies overlap. The right hand component has a clear spiral structure if viewed face - on, while the other is seen edge - on with no spiral arms visible. NGC 6090 is located in the constellation of Draco, the Dragon, about 400 million light - years away from Earth. A number of fainter, and more distant, background galaxies is seen in the image.
