NGC 2445 is a peculiar ring galaxy in the constellation Lynx. The galaxy lies about 200 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 2445 is approximately 100,000 light years across. [1] It was discovered by Édouard Stephan on …

2022年2月22日 · Astronomers suggest that the galaxies passed through each other, igniting the uniquely shaped star-formation firestorm in NGC 2445, where thousands of stars are bursting to life on the right-hand side of the image. This galaxy is awash in starbirth because it is rich in gas, the fuel that makes stars.

NGC 2445 is a Spiral Galaxy in the Lynx constellation. NGC 2445 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its B magnitude of 13.1, NGC 2445 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 10 inches (250mm) or more.

这两个相互作用星系统称为Arp 143，其中闪亮而扭曲、正在形成恒星的旋涡星系是NGC 2445，另一个不那么闪亮的则是NGC 2444。 两个星系正在进行一场宇宙拉锯战，而NGC 2444似乎正在赢得这场战争。

2022年2月23日 · Collectively called Arp 143, the NGC 2445-NGC 2444 system is located some 181 million light-years away in the constellation of Lynx. The galaxies collided head-on, igniting the uniquely shaped star-formation firestorm in NGC 2445, where thousands of stars are bursting to life on the right-hand side of the image.

2025年1月26日 · A head-on collision between two galaxies fueled the unusual triangular-shaped star-birthing frenzy, as captured this Hubble Space Telescope image. The interacting galaxy duo is collectively called Arp 143. The pair contains the glittery, distorted, star-forming spiral galaxy NGC 2445 at right, along with its less flashy companion, NGC 2444 at left.

NGC 2445 is a Galaxy located in the constellation of Lynx in the northern hemisphere. NGC 2445's distance from Earth is 203,195,423.30 light years. NGC 2445 is called NGC 2445 in the New General Catalogue (NGC). This catalogue is a list of deep space objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888 to update John Herschel's earlier work.
