NGC 7090

NGC 7090 is a spiral galaxy which is 30 million light years from the sun and is located in the southern constellation Indus. In the picture above the red that is visible are clouds of hydrogen gas. The picture also views the galaxy edge on from the earth and the spiral arms present are harder to see.

NGC 7090 is not an H1 deficient galaxy. The red zones in the picture are clouds of hydrogen gas. These structures are the location for new stars to form, this means that NGC 7090 is still actively forming stars. NGC 7090 is located in the Indus constellation, found in the southern sky. In 2015 a superluminous supernova was detected in this region.
