Facts about Atom For Peace Galaxy
- 10
Radio observations of the Atom For Peace Galaxy have detected neutral hydrogen gas extending well beyond its visible optical disk, a common feature among Virgo Cluster spirals.
- 09
Dust extinction measurements across NGC 4535 reveal significant interstellar reddening in the spiral arms, indicating substantial concentrations of gas and dust that obscure background starlight by up to 2 magnitudes in visible wavelengths.
- 08
Its central supermassive black hole, estimated at roughly 100 million solar masses, powers minimal active galactic nuclei activity compared to other spiral galaxies of similar size in the Virgo Cluster.
- 07
Within 2 million light-years of NGC 4535, the Atom For Peace Galaxy resides in the Virgo Cluster, one of the nearest galaxy clusters containing over 2,000 members.
- 06
Approximately 40 percent of NGC 4535's total luminosity originates from young, massive stars concentrated within its spiral arms rather than from older stellar populations in the galactic bulge.
- 05
Gravitational interactions with nearby galaxy M49 have likely influenced the Atom For Peace Galaxy's spiral structure and star formation patterns over billions of years.
- 04
Spectroscopic studies indicate NGC 4535 has a rotational velocity of approximately 200 kilometers per second, suggesting a total mass around 100 billion solar masses including dark matter.
- 03
Observations from the Hubble Space Telescope revealed that Atom For Peace Galaxy contains multiple star-forming regions with active starburst activity concentrated in its spiral arms.
- 02
NGC 4535, the Atom For Peace Galaxy, exhibits a grand design spiral structure with two prominent dust lanes spanning approximately 110,000 light-years across its disk.
- 01
The Atom For Peace Galaxy, located approximately 200 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici, was named after President Eisenhower's 1953 speech promoting peaceful nuclear technology.
