NGC 4945 tout at APOD
Gently cross your eyes to see 3D
Why
does the
rod sticking out
from the upper cowling look
familiar, it is because
such a rod is also
seen here in
Ngc 3314
Above
cowlings
(upper left) can
be seen two openings, the
uppermost tunneling to the rear, the
uppermost also more to the rear farther from the camera,
the two clearly dynamically connected in that matter
seems to stream forth from the lip of the rear
cowling to form the outline of
the forward cowling
The
cowlings
manifest a very
serious disruption, the
cowlings themselves part of a much
larger disturbance along the front helm, this
all points as strong evidence to the possibility that
a small galaxy has recently ploughed into the interface
with enough vigor to cause the disturbances, the
plow path from the forward helm near lower
front and center, plowing in at an
angle vectored north/west
toward the rear
Just
such a
'scyth' is
exactly seen in
the colliding situation
known as the
Dusting Galaxies

IMAGE 1
Here,
(this last above),
even though the details are over-bright,
this enhancement shows a conciderable quantity of diffuse
haze and drifts, whisping above the upper galactic surface. The upper
surface of
Andromeda
is also hazy, suggesting galaxies may be hazy
in general, the haze not easily seen except in more edge-on
views where the haze is then exposed against the deep
space blackdrop when images are very highly
enhanced, as is this above view of the
center region of NGC 4945,
That Andromeda is surrounded by dense diffuse haze
is easily seen in this view, whose high enhancement is
enough to reveal the haze
Original
In the
above IMAGE 1
you will notice in 3D a
kind of smoky, dusty, roiled, surface
made of many small jettisons, ropes, twists, and
power cords coming out and going in immediately after
a short half circle, this boiling in the midst of deep little
valleys and steaming, streaming, ravines. This, in
fact, is typical of the surface of galaxies
when seen magnified, enhanced and
in 3D, in other words a bit
like Frankenstein
with the skin
taken off
Like
the Sculptor
Galaxy NGC 253 the
surface of NGC 4945 looks like it
is boiling, matter welling up from within
below the surface, very little indication of smooth
cyclonnic whirlpool motions like chokolet and
white pudding being slowly mixed in a
blender, not here, this surface
is actually boiling. It's
possible greater
'cyclonnic'
motions
might
be
seen
if viewed
from overhead to
see the full cross section
of whatever disk and arms it might have.
If spiral galaxy
NGC 1232 were to be seen on edge it is
highly likely it may have a surface profile similar
to the above, since NGC 1232 is
not a flat galaxy
Another
aspect these
renewed and reviewed
images of NGC 4945 reveal is
that you are looking at the side of a galaxy.
Other galaxy images reviewed in Galaxies In Chaos have
shown many small arms and formations addressing galactic sides in
the central region which includes the core, these views tantalyzing
since they are seen from above, in which 3D shows a thick depth
to the cores, but little can be actually seen as to exactly
what the core side(s) might look like. It seems
NGC 4945 has given some insight as to
what core sides might look like,
for instance in NGC 2442
and NGC 1365
INTRUDERS
Many
if not all
of the small circular
eyelets (subtle indents) are where
globular clusters have punched into the soft
powdery scream of the galaxy leaving telltale pockmarks.
Larger globular clusters, or/also small galaxies, leave
wakes, tale-tale vapor trails, a stream of local
disturbance marking their trajectories and
paths clearly. This galaxy does
not show vapor trails all
that well, but
both M101
and NGC 2997 do.
These, all, globular clusters
and larger masses such as small galaxies, can
be catagorically called 'intruders' which 'disturb a galaxy
and may in fact be responsible for the formation of some arms the
forming like condensation around an 'intruders' scything path around a
core, the path being of both kinds: 'parabollic' and 'hyperbolic' which
can account for the existence of so many different kinds of galactic
'arms': long, short, thick, thin, solid, diffuse, rope-like,
cord-like, sausage-like, and so on, particularly arms
which end (as we see them) with an opening
often with a small dollop or jet
extending shooting out of
the opening as the
residue of
the
original
INTRUDER IN M100
Here
is a thin
vector made by
an intruder. The tell-tale
track runs to the right from the top
of the hot core. This is a very enhanced image from a
Hubble original, shown next. You can see at once
the value 'enhancements' without worry,
without fear, brave, boldly done,
have to offer
M100
A spectacular
snapshot of the M100
intruder by Subaru is here
This
view (next)
of spiral galaxy M74
highly enhanced by a moi, shows that
a very energetic 'Intruder' has plowed into its
side entering on a southeast/northwest vector in
the lower right, leaving a pronounced wedge
shaped major trail of disruption
aimed into the core. The
seeming Rubic's Cube
imbedded between
arms on the
left side
is your
guess
as good
as mine, this
cube is in the image
M74
Bodes
Galaxy, in
some images seen with
thick cross-hatched parallel line,
is in fact riddled with 'Intruders' who'se
'scything'activities include tell-tale wakes
which appear like a cross-hatch grid
pattern, not mysterious when
their cause is known,

There is still more to be learned about this galaxy.
For one thing there are no visible signs of any major
arms, suggesting this may by a bar galaxy seen on edge
Other signs pointing to a 'Bar' galaxy are as follows. 1st - The
center region is oblong, with a prominent thin narrow arm emerging
in the forefront very near the core, the thin arm vectored east
horizontally. There should be another arrised from the opposite side
of the core and vectored west in a vertical arc loop, but this
seems missing, perhaps dissolved in the commotion which has
caused the two back-to-back cowlings
A 2nd 'Bar' galaxy indicator may be in the galaxy's prevailing
motions in deep space. Like a pinwheel, the galaxy seems to be
rotating around a center with long extending arms sweeping out
at either end (east and west) something like tassles on the end
of a twirling baton. Absent is another motion, the baton also
hurtling end over end, a motion that is clearly seen in 'Bar'
galaxy NGC 2442

Englargements from the EOS original
This
last stereo
view above confirms
that the lower right extend is
strongly bowed this way toward the camera.
More about this 'bow' extend is shown
further below under 'HORN'
NEXT
This
(next)
high degree of
enhancement has revealed that
this galaxy is 'halved'. A major demarkation between
left/right halves can be seen, crossing the center on a slant
angled from lower right to upper left, the demarker almost
looking like a trail which could be left by a large
intruder or interacting small galaxy which
has now passed behind in the rear
to the upper left
HORN
A wave

extending to the right,
which also extends this way toward

Globular
Clusters by
the billions, or so
it seems. Of course there are
not billions. But a highly touted image
when released by astronomers (April 1999) cites a
large number of globular clusters surrounding a large
spiral nearby galaxy normally in poor view in being
much very obscured by dust lanes. This recent
image has revealed a good look at this
galaxy, and revealed it has an
unusual number of young
globular clusters
around it
That
is only
a fraction of
the story. The image
is such (from ground based
telescope) that it can be enhanced,
revealing a horde of globular clusters both
surrounding the spiral galaxy, and in it, far more
globular clusters than the original public
release image indicates
The
major
horn seen
extending a long
distance toward forespace
continuing the lower right end of the
the galaxy 'fluke', except, this horn is only part of the
formation, as seen in the extra bold 'Histogram Equalize' enhancements
immediately above in several maximum enhancement views, the 'horn'
is abruptly cut off by imaging imperfections told by a
highly visible 'squaring' in mismatched media
densities in different shots used to
patch together the resulting
master image
OTHER 'HISTORICAL' IMAGES
Because
of the way
these 'historical'
images were originally factored
by astronomers for public release and professional
'show and tell', they do not enhance very well, very little
original backdrop radiation in the form of dim photons
has been preserved in these factored images,
hence practically no new information
is gained by any accelarate in
enhancements to throw
extra light on
the images
COMPARE
This
galaxy (NGC 4945)
and edge-galaxy NGC 253
share many similarities when
enhanced and seen in 3D
COMPARISON TO 'SCULPTOR' GALAXY SHOWS SIMILARITIES
|
The 'Scultor' galaxy NGC 253
Rotated by 180 degrees, where similarities
with NGC 4945 become more apparent
These
last three above
were able to be enhanced
sufficiently enough to show strong
forefront buildup of vertically thick compenents
facing outer space, in other words this galaxy NGC 253 is
also thick (not thin as a pizza) and the forefront formations
are similar in kind even though not the same as the
forefront formations seen in NGC 4945. The
fact that the NGC 253 image has been
rotated (which changes its
optical properties),
is noted, of
course,
but the
fact remains
that the changed
optical properties accord
with dynamics sealing the fore-edge of
NGC 4945. Vague outlines only partially formed
below the center face, indicate a great deal more to this
galaxy in photon frequency ranges either not captured in
the frequencies used for this image, or too dim
to register strongly in digitals by the
electronic cameras
ASTOUNDING NEW IMAGES
OF THE SURFACE DETAILS OF NGC 253
Ladies
and gentlemen,
sharpen your new slide
rules, have a look in stereo at
what strong enhancements
reveal about 'surface'
details. Throw away
your text books
and theories.
