Summary
[edit]DescriptionMessier 90 - HST.png |
Also known as M90 or Messier 90, this spiral galaxy exhibits less star formation than usual due to a phenomenon called ram pressure stripping. Gas that could have collapsed to form stars was instead stripped away as the galaxy moved through the intracluster medium between galaxies. Space may be mostly empty, but a galaxy moving fast enough through it can feel it. This galaxy was observed as part of the wonderful PHANGS-HST. archive.stsci.edu/proposal_search.php?mission=hst&id=... Red: WFC3/UVIS F814W Green: WFC3/UVIS F555W WFC3/UVIS F438W+F336W North is 18.79° counter-clockwise from up. |
