The
Hubble space telescope has captured a new scintillating image showcasing an
incredibly massive galaxy located under 400 million light-years away from the
Earth.
The
galaxy UGC 12591 sits somewhere between a lenticular and a spiral, according to
NASA.
It
lies in the westernmost region of the Pisces?Perseus Supercluster, a long chain
of galaxy clusters that stretches out for hundreds of light-years - one of the
largest known structures in the cosmos.
UGC
12591 itself is also extraordinary: it is incredibly massive, NASA said.
The
galaxy and its halo together contain several hundred billion times the mass of
the Sun; four times the mass of the Milky Way.
It
also whirls round extremely quickly, rotating at speeds of up to 1.8 million
kilometres per hour.
Observations
with Hubble are helping astronomers to understand the mass of UGC 12591, and to
determine whether the galaxy simply formed and grew slowly over time, or
whether it might have grown unusually massive by colliding and merging with
another large galaxy at some point in its past.
