UGC 3478 is a spiral galaxy, located in the constellation of Camelopardalis. [3][4] Is is located at 128 million light-years from Earth. [5] It features a growing supermassive black hole (AGN) at its center.

NGC 3478 is a Barred Spiral Galaxy in the Ursa Major constellation. NGC 3478 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its B magnitude of 13.7, NGC 3478 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 14 inches (350mm) or more.

2024年8月27日 · The cosmos holds many wonders, and UGC 3478, a Seyfert galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis, is one of them. At its core is a supermassive black hole consuming surrounding gas and matter, emitting powerful radiation. Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, this discovery sheds light on how galaxies and their central black holes interact. But

NGC 3478是位于大熊座的一个星系。 它的赤经为 10 59.5，赤纬为 46° 7′，大小 2.8′。

2024年8月30日 · At 128 million light-years from Earth, UGC 3478 is positively neighbourly to us. The data used to make this image comes from a Hubble survey of nearby powerful AGNs found in relatively high-energy X-rays, like this one, which it is hoped can help astronomers to understand how the galaxies interact with the supermassive black holes at their hearts.

UGC 3478, located in the constellation Camelopardalis, is what is known as a Seyfert galaxy. This is a type of galaxy with an AGN at its core. Like all such “active galaxies”, the brightness that you see here hides a supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy.

From Virginia Beach , NGC3478 is visible all night. It will become visible at around 20:19 (EDT), 49° above your north-eastern horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then reach its highest point in the sky at 23:55, 80° above your northern horizon. It will be lost to dawn twilight at around 05:59, 25° above your north-western horizon.
