In the galactic expanses, a wave of bright blue filaments is visible. In the foreground are the neighboring stars, distinguished by their brilliant diffraction spikes. A keen eye can also reveal several other galaxies disguised as stars. On closer inspection, it turns out to see their true nature.
The central galaxy IC 4870 was found in 1900 by Delile Stewart. 28 million light-years distant from us. It contains the active galactic core (AGN) - an extremely bright central region with hot radiation. AGN releases rays across the entire EM spectrum from radio waves to gamma rays created by a central supermassive black hole. IC 4870 is a Seyfert type with a special AGN type and characteristic emission lines. IC 4870 was able to display using the Hubble Space Telescope. He manages to observe the neighboring galaxies, noting collisions, fusions, central nuclei, star flares, jets and outflows. Such pictures help to study the true galaxy.
