Description

NGC1097 is a very large and very beautiful spiral galaxy, it is also known as a “Seyfert galalxy”, with an unusual bright core. The smaller galaxy attached to it is its companion galaxy, NGC 1097A. This is a waltz in a universe scale. Attracted by each other‘s gravitational force, those two galaxies are enjoying themselves in an endless waltz. Distorting, deforming, reshaping. Through a T1 telescope in Chile, we are able to witness the destruction of millions of worlds together with the birth of new suns. That is what gonna happen to our galaxy and the great galaxy of andromeda in the next billions of years.
