The glowing galaxy is 28 million light-years from Earth

New images of active IC4870 galaxies can help scientists better understand the evolution of galaxies.

NASA captures details of the galaxy IC4870 , UPI on 8/6 reported. IC4870 stands out from the picture with a series of other stars around.

IC 4870 belongs to the Seyfert galaxy group with a very strong center of light, similar to a quasar. These are two of the brightest forms of the sky. Surrounded by green streaks and molecular clouds that contribute to the formation of new stars.

Hubble once captured IC4870 in previous studies of active galaxies, or actively forming new stars, near Earth. However, perhaps the new image is the clearest and most impressive. By observing the active center of nearby galaxies, the scientific community can understand more about how they evolved.

IC4870 was first discovered by astronomer DeLisle Stewart in 1900. Because the Seyfert galaxy center is very bright, it can overwhelm the rest of the galaxy, so taking photos is not always easy.
