Spiral Galaxy NGC 6744

Eighth magnitude spiral galaxy NGC 6744, in the Southern Pavo constellation. #astronomy #galaxy

Caldwell 101 Pavo Image exposure:120 MinutesImage Size:57.1 x 38.1 arcminImage date:2023-06-18 A two-hour exposure of NGC 6744, a fluffy-looking, eighth magnitude, almost face-on spiral galaxy, 30 million light years away, with an extended central core and faint outer spiral arms. It is about the same size as our galaxy, the Milky Way, and has some similar features. Also in this image: ESO…

Explanation: Beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 6744 is nearly 175,000 light-years across. That's larger than the Milky Way. It lies some 30 million light-years distant in the southern constellation Pavo, with its galactic disk tilted towards our line of sight. This Hubble close-up of the nearby island universe spans about 24,000 light-years or so across NGC 6744's central region. The Hubble view combines visible light and ultraviolet image data. The giant galaxy's yellowish core is dominated by the visible light from old, cool stars. Beyond the core are star-forming regions and young star clusters scattered along the inner spiral arms. NGC 6744's young star clusters are bright at ultraviolet wavelengths, shown in blue and magenta hues. Spiky stars scattered around the frame are foreground stars and well within our own Milky Way.
