Unlike Jupiter's giant red spot (next), which is a heat sink, the vortex at the center of Ngc 1232 is a whirlpool. Notice the white fringes arcing out concentrically around the side of the whorls. These are seen in Discovery channel science episodes featuring oceanic whirlpools that form in rip tides in just five places around the globe, including the north tip inside of Vancouver Island. Watching whirlpools shown in these episodes, one sees fringes of water arcing out concentrically (like fringes under the caps of ripe mushrooms) as the whirlpools strengthen enough to suck down a small cruiser for instance 50 feet class being used as research vessles. The water arcs out in thin sheets whorling in stacked array around the vortex whirlpool funnel, which can be squeezed not circular at the bottom. If you have seen the episode I have you will know exactly what I mean. The above ESO image of the center of Ngc 1232 is a whirlpool, not a heat sink. I am using the above large image   1232-aaa.jpg   as my desktop wallpaper and after 3 days of staring at it, have concluded that it has to be a whirlpool.

The
nuclear
core is a very
small area at the center of
a large blossom-like galaxy. Luckily the
original ESO core image above is rich in fine details
about the nuclear core. Following is a series of exploratory
enhancements which show the nuclear core to be
almost a galaxy within itself, extremely
fine detailed movements of matter
issue from fumeroles and
portholes and stream
short distances,
plus lateral
bridges
slashing
across the
dark core indicate
intense dynamics at work deep
within the core's intermix region, the
core vortex itself not unlike Jupiter's Giant Red
spot whose topology is in part fueled by maximum
temperature differentiation between the utter cold of
outer space and thermodynamic heat with Jupiter

JUPITER'S GIANT RED SPOT





NGC 1232 NUCLEAR CORE

These
are magnified
and enhanced views from
the original shown above, the anhanced
versions able to show more fine detail in the core
intermix and what kind of vortexes surround the
core intermix area, both details and vortexes
poorly or not seen at all in the original.
Here are seen many tiny ribbons and
ropes, where entropy 'streams
and flows' between
temperature
and
pressure
gradiants, causing
formations more dominated by
entropy dynamics than by gravity per se

For
instance,
here in 3D we
see that the lower lip
across center screen juts out
prominently into the foreground toward
the camera, the whole central area is a shelf on
a horizontal plane with a shallow up-tilt
backward into the rear of the
central vortex



Here
behold, the
image of a crepe paper
rose comes to mind in modelling
the steepness of the outcurl of the
arms spinning out on sliding, rather
than flat, curved angles

The
flattening
of the clumps of matter
(brightened by enhancements) is
caused by matter shooting out like spokes
of an umbrella around a central oval circumpherence,
in upcurves heading into deep space above the ecliptic
plane, where the backpull of gravity equalizes with
the Plank's Length pressure in the temperature
of deep space the upcurve motion stops
and the matter spreads out into
flattish clumps not unlike
thermals rising in the
clouds of Earth and
flattening against
a high atmosphere
plateau not governed
by ultimate cold temperature
physics but by volume/density gradients
modified by prevailing high altitude winds that
are horizontal to the thermal updrafts. The galaxy's core
spew updrafts may not be thermal so much as, rather, kinetic

NEXT

Magnification
will not go any larger
the pixels turn into squares.
At this maximum range viewing is good
enough to reveal that the teeth bridging
the horizontal black gap are semi
vertical to the plane of
the black gap

       

             

             

The
teeth
are in a long
escarpment which rises
well above the solid color area in
front, except, the oblong oval solid color
area is not a solid plane, it is a thick oblong
coil, like the top surface in a container of soft
ice cream, or a steaming coil pushed by a dog.
But, also, this steaming coil has things
poking up from its surface, the
surface is extremely
irregular.
Other
thick coils
surge around the
left flank of the oblong

Next we
see where
an 'Intruder' has
skimmed across the surface
at high speed leaving a lineal track
vertically up the right side near
the edge of this next frame

another ESO image of NGC 1232



FINALLY

These
next core images
are from a second ESO
core image study





The
nuclear
core area seen in
depth in the above images
can be seen to scale in the following

THE CORE AREA OF NGC 1232

The
inner core
itself is very active,
no single enhance adjusted view
seems to show everything of importance,
so a sequence of 7 views next are presented
starting with a zoom taken from the original
image then each following by different
enhancing touches which combined
give you a better knowledge
of what comprises the
basic core scene

This
much we
can know, a rock
star's pompador comb of hair
sweeps over top in the yellow area to the
left, and a vertically aligned football or 'puppy cup'
hoves of the right end, where at the opposite (left end) a
horizontal band sweeps in depth in a cavity which could
be a black hole's roiling boil (black hole
equivalent to an accretian disk)















TECHNICAL LORE RELATING TO THE CORE

It
is too
bad that the
particular imaging
technique used for this photo
does not convert to .gif format. Next
is what happens when an attempt is made to make
a stereo movie of the above four views - fine details turn
into solid colors and practically nothing of use is see-worthy.
This is not meant at all as a criticism of the imaging team
or its image, such image as Ngc 1232 from the ESU
is an astonishing conquest from a ground
based telescope array and there
is no question that the
professionalism
at highest
levels
can
be
surely,
thanked,
what only is
intended in the
above remark about .gif
incompatibility is that really good
images and enhancements anyway are not par for the
course, acquired skill must enter here at Farstar home headquarters
(a' moi) to know how to handle the small panel of enhancers used in Paint
Shop Pro, and a beady pair of stereo eyes with keen intents, needed
to feel what to enhance or zoom, and how to do it. At best, I
am limited to exactly what any image can provide,
which in turn is usually the best
a telescope can provide.
Any beef I might
serve, for
instance
in the
folio
stating
GRRRR
is directed
strictly to those who
promote big things and claims in
toy images, and miss the greater content any image
might in-store in its hidden medias and dark 'silent' matter contents.
Also, I happen to be on a roll, and am going for it at 121% (more
than 110%, which is just 10% above average). It helped that
I unexpectedly discovered stereo in a mono image when
attempting to display a living room photo side
by side on a PC Windows computer screen
and got the sizings wrong, resulting
in stereo in the mono photo!
Whah you can image the
work that went
on at home
after
that
trying
to figure
the stereo,
and the first
shot at looking
at a galaxy in 3D,
Ngc 2997 was a mind
blower because suddenly there were
voracious arms writhing like worms all over the
place in space, which initiated the term 'vortex' to describe
it. That is the history, two years have passed. And this quick remark
now finishes the point that the above core images cannot re-mode as .gif

Two
things
are achieved.
1st, the Montana-Bute-thick vrs
thin-as-the-rings-of-Saturn aspect of Ngc 1232
galaxy is seen without question, and 2nd, the galaxy is surrounded
by a very large area of dim mass too dim to be seen by normal
picture product densities but still in the dark regions
of the original negative in contrasts too dim to
be discerned by normal eyesight but still
easily revealed by a moment spent
with a Windows 95 PC
graphics editor
(Paint Shop Pro) to
bring out hidden mass details

the different kind of photons captured to

Ps...
if you
do not like
the photographs
do not pour rain on the
provider (a moi). This particular
(green image) of the full sized galaxy is
particularly difficult to result through the regimes
of the Paint Shop Pro graphic editor, further, images from the
original are much more salient in noticed details in .jpg
form than in .gif, where in fact .GIF form must be
used in order to create a movie animation.
In other words, dulled image quality
you see here is not my balloon

Let's
test how
good your eyesight
is, if better than mine all the
better. A faint (orange) cluster is in the
lower right quadrant, a straight line (slightly curved)
of white thunderheads leading straight away from it
into the lower right corner. Is this a trail
left by the cluster moving north west?
A second larger cluster (orange)
to the west seems to have
left two candidate
vapor trails,
one is
curving
up from the
right as a small
fat vague arm, the other
a strew of white cloud tops coming
in from the lower edge of the frame arcing to the
cluster, which is the cluster's trail in fact is there a trail





Actually
cancel the concept
that the white cometary toggles
sticking up in a seeming line in the lower
right are associated with the yellow object deep in
the seams of Ngc 1232 - the yellowish tinge the
common result of light filtered through
galactic haze. The string of
cometary toggles seem
more associated
with the
spoot
shooting
out into the open
in the lower right (in
the highlighted window above).
Spoots are assumed to be jets or 'jet engines'
resulting when small objects pass out of a galaxy arm or
valley at high speed into the open. The whole of Ngc 1232
seems riddled with 'jets' and compression can be seen
all over, both clues of the strongest kind that
collision has been in the picture. A much
larger object, flattened to resemble
a knuckled fist spews at
the picture bottom
over a valley
This may
be residues
of a small galaxy
firing into the open at high speed

Accute eyesight test is over

EXPOSING THE S-SHAPE CORE

Turning
the reostats a
wayyyyyy down gives
quite a different look to the
core, dynamic it is yes and definately
not a sheet of glass this is like looking into
a glassblower's furnace when the wind is set high





Core s-shape
in only poorly seen, in
this zoom taken straight from the original

Filamentation
in interaction between
galaxies, and wakes left in deep
space motions of the galaxies, are clearly
seen in this animagic stereo movie next

Original deep space galaxy cluster






Two dark holes are seen in the ESO deep space intermedias between galaxies, the dark hole(s) presence revealed by Histogram Equalize in a graphics editor. (I cannot be certain this deep space image is by ESO. With over 4,000 images and views comprising the Galaxies In Chaos site handled by a single person (a moi'), if I drop the ball on one or two supposedly known image sources these don't count as carelessness).
