As the name suggests, this galaxy may look like the wheels of a wagon to some.
The Cartwheel Galaxy and the galaxies to its left are part of a cluster of galaxies in the Sculptor star cluster, about 500 million light-years from Earth.
The diameter of this galaxy is about 10000 light years…!! It also contains many giant stars and newly formed baby stars.
The ring-like features seen inside the Cartwheel Galaxy are formed by the gravitational pull of nearby baby galaxies.
Thus, when a baby galaxy passes in front of the Cartwheel Galaxy, it exerts a gravitational influence on the gas sheets where new stars are being formed, resulting in ripples like a pebble falling into a still pond.
This image taken by James Webb gives us information about the birth of new stars and the events surrounding the black hole inside them.
The spin of an electron is 1/2. The spin is 1/2 for the proton. A hydrogen atom consists of a proton and an electron. Then there are two possibilities for total spin. One or both can be in the same...
