IMAGE number: PIX4609940
Image title: Star Formation in the dwarf galaxy NGC 1569 - Starburst galaxy NGC 1569 - NGC 1569 is a dwarf irregular galaxy in the constellation Giraffe. The Hubble space telescope measured its distance with precision, placing it 11 million years - light from Earth, or 4 million years - light beyond the distance previously established by astronomers. This new measure explains better why this galaxy has a particularly high star formation rate. It resides among a group of galaxies that by gravity compresses its gas, thus creating a hundred times more stars than in our own galaxy. NGC 1569 is located in the middle of a group of about 10 galaxies centered on the spiral galaxy IC 342. Gravitational interactions among the group's galaxies may be compressing gas in NGC 1569 and igniting the star - birthing frenzy. The galaxy is forming stars at a rate more than 100 times higher than the rate in the Milky Way. This high star - formation rate has been almost continuous for the past 100 million years. Thanks to Hubble space telescope, astronomers have now measured the galaxy's distance at nearly 11 million light - years away, about 4 million light - years farther than the old distance
