Very interesting series of discoveries about dwarf galaxies IC 4710

It is thought that this abnormal galaxy has been distorted over time, through external gravity when interacting or merging other galaxies.

The dwarf galaxy IC 4710 suddenly caught sight of scientists and extremely interesting findings. It is thought that this abnormal galaxy has been distorted over time, through external gravity when interacting or merging other galaxies.

NASA has captured a novel image of the dwarf galaxy IC 4710.

IC 4710 galaxy also known as LEDA 61922 and IRAS 18235-6700 , was discovered in 1900 by American astronomer DeLisle Stewart.

It lies about 27.7 million light-years away in the constellation south of Pavo.

IC 4710 is classified as an irregular.

As the name suggests, such galaxy structure is irregular and chaotic, without central convex and spiral arms - clearly different from the ellipses or ellipses.

It is thought that this abnormal galaxy has been distorted over time through external gravity when interacting or merging with other galaxies.

This new image of IC 4710 was taken from Hubble's Advanced Security Camera (ACS) in the near-infrared and spectral optics.

The image builds on data obtained through two filters: V-band wide band filter (F606W) and near-infrared filter (F814W).
