Theoretical physics, despite its attempts, is unable to explain many of the mysteries that the universe holds. The latest discoveries related to astronomy involve a riddle that has so far gone unanswered by the astrophysics community. It concerns the discovery of a galaxy, NGC-7360b. So far, nothing new. The relevant aspect of this discovery is that its outer arms do not behave like those of other galaxies; instead, they are wavy, with a slow trajectory, and they avoid contact with cosmic elements. To obtain more precise data, the two most powerful tools for space exploration, the James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope, have been utilized.
There are several theories that have been proposed to explain this behavior, but none are clear enough to be considered definitive. On one hand, it is believed that the force is the result of a combination of dark matter that compels the galaxy to be extracted from within. On the other hand, it is suggested that extraterrestrial waves are passing through its core, causing this behavior. Other less optimistic researchers believe that it is a phenomenon that even science cannot explain.
Space agencies like NASA and ESA exchange results from their experiments and information obtained in an attempt to decipher this enigma. Experts are investigating the behavior of these galactic arms thanks to the latest signals from the galaxy NGC-7360b. These events remind us that although experts believe they have a clear understanding of many concepts related to the cosmos, the reality is that we still barely know anything about its nature and behavior.
NGC-7360b Galaxy
The term NGC-7360 refers to a galaxy discovered by Albert Marth in 1864. It is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Pegasus, visible from both hemispheres at certain times. Some characteristics of this galaxy, such as its peculiar bright radiation, have already been studied. However, the focus is now on another of its qualities: the behavior of its galactic arms. According to observations by experts, what has been seen has nothing to do with the usual behavior of a galaxy. While others rotate, NGC-7360b presents undulating arms with a slow trajectory, avoiding contact with any element of the cosmos.
How have they been detected?
To obtain this new data about NGC-7360b, researchers have used two of the most powerful tools available in astronomy, the James Webb Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope. Thanks to them, they were able to observe for months the behavior of the arms of this galaxy, seeing how they curved and relaxed at the same time. Initially, there was doubt, and it was even believed to be a flaw in the image, but as the months went by, it became more than evident that this was an event that was indeed occurring. What was happening?
Enlightening theories
Researchers and scientists have quickly put forward their theories about what is happening with NGC-7360b, although none carry enough weight to be definitive. Some believe it is a phenomenon that even astrophysics cannot explain. Other researchers are a bit more optimistic, arguing that it is the force exerted by a combination of dark matter, which causes the galaxy to be pulled from within. On the other hand, the idea has also been proposed that it may be extraterrestrial waves that are traversing the core of this galaxy.
What now?
The NASA and ESA space agencies collaborate with each other through the exchange of information and data obtained from the behavior of this galaxy. Several research groups have conducted experiments involving simulations of the conditions presented by the galaxy NGC-7360b, but to date, there have been no significant results. However, scientists continue to exploit the latest signals from the galaxy to conduct their research and thus try to provide answers and meaning to the unusual behavior detected in NGC-7360b.
The discovery of this new galaxy could change everything we know so far about the early universe!
