NGC 1350とは 意味・読み方・使い方

NGC 1350 is a beautiful spiral galaxy located 87 million light years away in the southern constellation Fornax (the Furnace). It measures roughly 130,000 light years across; slightly larger than our own galaxy, the Milky Way. It is classified as Sa(r), meaning that it is a spiral with arms wound tightly enough to form a prominent central ring. The faint outer ring (called a "pseudo-ring") is sometimes added to the beginning of the classification with the designation "R^'₁." NGC 1350 is seen on the outskirts of the Fornax cluster of galaxies, but its estimated distance suggests that it is not member. As of Dec 2008 there were no objects of note found in this galaxy.
