NGC 3166 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Sextans. The galaxy lies about 65 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 3166 is approximately 105,000 light years across. [1] It was discovered by William Herschel on …

2024年11月26日 · The pair of galaxies NGC 3166/3169 is located in the constellation Sextans. On 20 February it is in opposition to the Sun and crosses the meridian at local midnight. It can best be observed from October to May.

NGC 3166 is a Lenticular Galaxy in the Sextans constellation. NGC 3166 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year.

NGC 3169 is a spiral galaxy about 75 million light years [3] away in the constellation Sextans. It has the morphological classification SA(s)a pec, [5] which indicates this is a pure, unbarred spiral galaxy with tightly-wound arms and peculiar features. [6] There is an asymmetrical spiral arm and an extended halo around the galaxy. [7]

2003年6月11日 · NGC 3166 is a strange Spiral Galaxy with a very small, very bright nucleus in a short smooth bar (0.5' x 0.14'). The spiral pattern is only in the lens, and there is a large very faint extended envelope.

2011年4月20日 · The gravitational tug of war has warped the spiral shape of one galaxy, NGC 3169, and fragmented the dust lanes in its companion NGC 3166. Meanwhile, a third, smaller galaxy to the lower right, NGC 3165, has a front-row seat to the gravitational twisting and pulling of its bigger neighbours.

NGC 3166 is a Spiral Galaxy located in the constellation of Sextans in the equatorial region. NGC 3166's distance from Earth is 71,754,403.09 light years. NGC 3166 is called NGC 3166 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.

2020年6月30日 · NGC 3166 (lower right) and NGC 3169 (upper left) are two spiral galaxies trapped in a death spiral. As these two galaxies begin to merge, they are starting to be pulled apart. The faint wisps surrounding NGC 3169 are its outer spiral arms being pulled off.

2024年5月22日 · The three galaxies are embedded within an extended ring of neutral hydrogen centered on NGC 3169. Huge bridges of matter and stars eventually unravel from one galaxy to another, with the presence of stellar clusters that have the appearance of dwarf galaxies being part of the group.
