Hubble Telescope shares image of barred Spiral Galaxy

Hubble telescope shares image of barred spiral galaxy NGC 4535. The Hubble Space Telescope has captured the image of NGC 613, a barred spiral galaxy. The galaxy that was first found by German-English astronomer William Herschel in 1798 lies in the southern constellation of Sculptor and is 67 million light-years away.

We live on a planet called Earth that is part of our solar system. But where is our solar system? It’s a small part of the Milky Way Galaxy. A galaxy is a huge collection of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar systems. A galaxy is held together by gravity. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, also has a supermassive black hole in the middle.

As revealed by surveys, about two-thirds of spiral galaxies, including our own Milky Way galaxy, contain a bar. "Recent researches have shown that bars are more common in galaxies than they earlier were, thereby giving important insights about "galaxy formation and evolution".

"The bright colors in this Hubble image aren't just beautiful to look at, as they actually tell us about the population of stars within NGC 4535," The bright blue-ish colors, seen nestled amongst its long, spiral arms, indicate the presence of a greater number of younger and hotter stars." When this galaxy was observed from a smaller telescope, it had a hazy, ghostly appearance, which led the famous amateur astronomer Leland S. Copeland to call it "The Lost Galaxy" in the 1950s.

There are many galaxies besides ours, though. There are so many, we can’t even count them all yet! The Hubble Space Telescope looked at a small patch of space for 12 days and found 10,000 galaxies, of all sizes, shapes, and colors. Some scientists think there could be as many as one hundred billion galaxies in the universe.

The Hubble astronomers said the galaxy was studied as part of the PHANGS survey, which intends to clarify the connections between cold gas clouds, star formation and the overall shape and other properties of galaxies."

Surprising, it means there are many Galaxies and we haven't explored many

In the Hubble Deep Field image, how are the galaxy colors "assigned" by image analysts?

[bobgreene]

Most raw images from even optical telescopes are rendered in black and white, presumably from the idea that the filtered image intensity and pattern is the important information, not whatever color artifacts appear. So, are the colors In the Hubble "Deep Field" image natural, or added by analysts according to a formula?
