PIX4608319: Exoplanete SWEEPS-10: SWEEPS-10 is an exoplanet located towards the galactic center. This hot jupiter is one of the hottest exoplanets discovered to date with a temperature of 1650 degres. SWEEPS-10 is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star SWEPS J175902.00 291323.7 located in the Galactic bulge at a distance of approximately 22,000 light years from Earth. It completes an orbit of its star in just 10 hours, and is categorized as an ultra-short period planet (USPP). Located only 1.2 million kilometers from its star, the planet is among the hottest ever detected; its estimated temperature is approximately 1,650 degrees Celsius. This planet must be at least 1.6 times the mass of Jupiter. This illustration presents a purely speculative view of what such a “” hot Jupiter”” might look like. It could have a powerful magnetic field that traps charged particles from the star. These particles create glowing auroral rings around the planet's magnetic poles / Bridgeman Images

PIX4609836: Barree spiral galaxy NGC 1365 in the Furnace - Barred spiral galaxy NGC 1365 in Fornax - NGC 1365 is a barree spiral galaxy that extends over 200,000 years - light. Located 60 million years ago - light, it belongs to the cluster of galaxies of the Furnace. Image obtained in 1999 by the European telescope Antu of the VLT in Chile. NGC 1365 is one of the most prominent “” barred”” galaxies in the sky. It is a supergiant galaxy with a diameter of about 200,000 light - years, seen in the direction of the southern constellation Fornax. It is a major member of the Fornax Cluster of Galaxies. The distance is about 60 million light - years. A massive straight bar runs through this galaxy and contains the nucleus at the centre. It consists mostly of older stars that give a reddish colour to the bar.The gravitational perturbation from the bar causes interstellar gas and dust clouds to form a pair of spiral arms that extend from the ends of the bar. Young luminous hot stars, born out of the interstellar clouds, give these arms a prominent appearance and a blue colour. The bar and spiral pattern rotates clockwise, as seen from us. One full turn takes about 350 million years. Image combined from three exposures with the FORS1 multi - mode instrument at VLT UT1, ANTU / Bridgeman Images
PIX4609879: Barree spiral galaxy NGC 1483 in Dorado - Barred spiral galaxy NGC 1483 in Dorado - NGC 1483 is a barree spiral galaxy located about 60 million years ago - light in the southern constellation of Dorado. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). NGC 1483 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the southern constellation of Dorado. The nebulous galaxy features a bright central bulge and diffuse arms with distinct star - forming regions. In the background, many other distant galaxies can be seen. The constellation Dorado is home to the Dorado Group of galaxies, a loose group comprising an estimated 70 galaxies and located some 62 million light - years away. The Dorado group is much larger than the Local Group that includes the Milky Way (and which contains around 30 galaxies) and approaches the size of a galaxy cluster. Galaxy clusters are the largest groupings of galaxies (and indeed the largest structures of any type) in the Universe to be held together by their gravity. Barred spiral galaxies are so named because of the prominent bar - shaped structures found in their center. They form about two thirds of all spiral galaxies, including the Milky Way. Recent studies suggest that bars may be a common stage in the formation of spiral galaxies, and may indicate that a galaxy has reached full maturity.
