| 説明 | In the depths of the night sky lies a barred spiral galaxy called NGC 3583, imaged here by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This is a barred spiral galaxy with two arms that twist out into the universe. This galaxy is located 98 million light-years away from the Milky Way. Two supernovae exploded in this galaxy, one in 1975 and another, more recently, in 2015.There are a few different ways that supernovae can form. In the case of these two supernovae, the explosions evolved from two independent binary star systems in which the stellar remnant of a Sun-like star, known as a white dwarf, was collecting material from its companion star. Feeding off of its partner, the white dwarf gorged on the material until it reached a maximum mass. At this point, the star collapsed inward before exploding outward in a brilliant supernova.Two of these events were spotted in NGC 3583, and though not visible in this image, we can still marvel at the galaxy’s spectacular symmetry.For more information: www.nasa.gov/image-feature/goddard/2020/hubble-views-a-ga...Text credit: ESA (European Space Agency)Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, A.
