Messier 96: Lopsided Spiral Galaxy Shows Bright Star-Forming Rings

Messier 96, an Sa‑type spiral about 35 million light‑years away in Leo, shows lopsided arms and pink star‑forming rings, evidence of tidal interactions with nearby galaxies. Read more: getnews.me/messier-96-lopsided-spir... #messier96 #spiralgalaxy

20250825 M96 第三次凝視 – 萌芽地科網 此次 NASA/ESA 哈伯太空望遠鏡的「每週影像」呈現一個外觀不對稱的星系，它的樣貌可能源自一場星系之間的角力。距離我們約 3,500 萬光年的螺旋星系梅西耶 96（Messier 96），位於獅子座，是所在星系群中最明亮的成員。鄰近星系的引力作用，可能造成梅西耶 96 的氣體與塵埃分布不均、螺旋臂結構不對稱，以及核心偏離中心的位置。 ▲ 這張影像由 NASA/

A stunning Hubble Space Telescope image of Messier 96 (NGC 3368), a spiral galaxy approximately 35 million light-years away in the Leo I galaxy group. The image showcases the galaxy's swirling dust lanes and bright core, spanning roughly 100,000 light-years. Background galaxies are visible at the image edges. The asymmetry of M96 remains a mystery, possibly due to past gravitational interactions.
