The barred spiral galaxy NGC 925 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Triangulum, approximately 25 million light-years from Earth. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1784 and is part of the Local Group of galaxies.
Structure and Features
- The nucleus of the galaxy is quite bright, surrounded by scattered stars.
- The bar of the galaxy is approximately 12,000 light-years long and approximately 3,000 light-years wide. This is an outstanding feature that gives the galaxy its unique shape.
- NGC 925 contains star-forming regions, as well as large star clusters. The galaxy's stars include both red giants and flat-spectrum stars.
Dynamics and Rotation
- The galaxy is known for its high rotation speed - about 200 km/s, which is twice as fast as most typical spiral galaxies. This may be due to the presence of several bars in its structure.
Astronomical Significance
NGC 925 is an important object for research in the field of galactic dynamics and star formation. Observations of this galaxy help astronomers better understand the internal processes of galaxies, their rotation and the interaction of different structures.
NGC 925 is an interesting object for further research, revealing secrets that help in the study of space.
