PARTICULARS

A spectacular object rather far away at 300 million light years distant, has been zoomed in by closeup using the amazing capabilities of the Hubble Acs installation. In terms of distance scale, the Virgo galaxy cluster is 65 million light years away and at that distance resolute galaxies are becoming difficult to photograph in pristine detail. The Hubble Acs photo at 300 million light years is a benchmark achievement portending amazing things to come if telescope bugets here and there pass approvals

At 150,000 light years across, the AM 0644 ring is 1 1/2 times larger across than the Milky Way galaxy which is 100,000 light years across, and smaller than Andromeda which is 195,000 light years across (nearly twice the size of the Milky Way)







The mass of the ring galaxy is simply huge. Enhancement of the Acs photo shows a mostly full domain in what first seems empty regions between the ring and the objective core gob within, plus drifts surrounding the ring are loaded with dim matter not seen except in strong image enhancements

The ring galaxy is actually larger than the perspective seen in the photo. The galaxy is inclined at a noticable angle which means it's full cross section is forshortened slightly

Closeup from small original



















The enhancements reveal that the ring, and objective galaxy within, are not separate but still joined, the objective galaxy receeding slowly rearward, turning slowly counterclockwise, drifting toward the edge of view against the ring to the left. Very diffuse swaths are sweeping out and upward toward the ring which is in the foreground, connective swaths from two ends, couple the inner galaxy to the outward moving ring

Vague diminished arm structures are seen around the rim, in other words this ring is not similar to the dynamics of the Cartwheel galaxy whose ring is one object with distinct cotter pin bi-symmetrical twists. The AM 0644-741 ring has windings around it, thin, and broken off at inner ends, one long rim continues down, up and around the circumpherence of the whole ring assembly

The right rim of the AM 0644 ring is bent sharply down, away from the camera. This is important when seeking to understand the dynamics of the ring. A major change in vectors of combined forces is occurred in the ring's constructive stages, causing the left portion to sharply lift up in a new drifting vector compared to the rest of the ring to the right which is falling further behind due to the sudden new uplift vector. This is the 'physics el mystico' interpretation for the kink in the ring











It can be seen that across the bridge between the two joints where the ring bends downward, a massive ridge of roil is boiling in the space stretching between the two sides of the ring

A different interpretation other than 'mystica la physique' for the major kink in the ring is that another galaxy is involved. If true, this other galaxy is seen as a mould of extreme diffuse and chaotically disturbed status, it is just vaguely coherent, clustered in the right end of the ring, of galaxy size, the 'coherent' if moving downward and rearward slowly, is enough to explain the major kink in the ring in that the 'kinked' portion of the ring is being 'molded' by this other galaxy cavorting the ring percussions along a different distinct vector









Expect that all of the diffuse matter, including the whole of the objective smaller galaxy within and matter gangs filling space between the ring ellipse, is positively charged. The hot blue streams and stringing clumps of new giant stars are negatively charged matterial

The Acs original shows only traces of the seething superstructure. For instance the center and left ring though seeming well photographed in the original (next) is missing more blue hot star formation zones in concentric strings reaching back beyond the left rim

Hoags Ring Galaxy





The horizontal layering made up of outshooting thin fingers at right angles to the axis of circumpherence, around the left hem of the rim, is seen as easily in similar kind in the rim circumpherence around around the ring galaxy named Hoags. In the case of Hoags, the ring is more symmetrical, seen more face on. The right angle fingers in the Hoags ring are mainly tiny vortex coils winding around long thin strings in the ring circumpherence, as if electricity around magnetic strands. The small ring galaxy seen through haze upper right in the Hoags image, is not AM 0644-741

RING DETAILS IN AM 0644

The two kinks where the rim bends. Note vague vertical cones with incise circles at each location (incise circles means hard edged like furrow disks used on a farm)





















The other galaxy, in the rear and not connected, is a windup with longarms now wrapped closely around a clamshell body













The Acs original shows only the bright central area



Which goes to show that the Hubble Acs camera snaps and traps low amplitude photons ie extremely dim stuff of exceedingly low luminosity
