currently merging with a companion spiral galaxy

The hottest members of the cluster produce enough ultraviolet radiation and strong winds to convert the cloud into ions and excavate it

This process heats up the surrounding matter forming an accretion disc around the black hole and launching huge amounts of energy into the surrounding area

Galaxy NGC 1448 Wall Art including Frame Frame Colors:Walnut is attached to YepunNGC 1448, a galaxy with an active galactic nucleus, is seen in this image combining data from the Carnegie Irvine Galaxy Survey in the optical range and NuSTAR in the X ray range. This galaxy contains an example of a supermassive black hole hidden by gas and dust. X ray emissions from NGC 1448, as seen by NuSTAR and Chandra, suggests for the first time that, like IC 3639 in PIA21087, there must be a thick layer of gas and dust hiding the active black
