2023年11月3日 · This vibrant Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy NGC 1566, sometimes informally referred to as the ‘Spanish Dancer Galaxy’. Like the subject of another recent image, NGC 1566 is a weakly-barred or intermediate spiral galaxy.

NGC 1566 is a Seyfert 1 Galaxy located in the constellation of Dorado in the southern hemisphere. NGC 1566's distance from Earth is 32,455,821.14 light years. NGC 1566 is called NGC 1566 in the New General Catalogue (NGC).

2022年4月20日 · Composite Image of NGC 1566. This galaxy is part of a large survey of more than 100 galaxies conducted by Chandra that looked for evidence of growing black holes. A new study uncovered evidence that stellar-mass black holes in these dense environments are ripping apart multiple stars, and then using their debris to fuel their growth.

Classified as a grand design spiral, NGC 1566's shows two prominent and graceful spiral arms that are traced by bright blue star clusters and dark cosmic dust lanes. Numerous Hubble Space Telescope images of NGC 1566 have been taken to study star formation, supernovas, and the spiral's unusually active center.
