Sapphire Galaxy

== Sapphire Galaxy's information ==
The Sapphire galaxy is a Sa type galaxy located 6.61 Gly away from the Milky way galaxy. It was discovered in the late 80s during the INGALD Deep surveys. It was detected on August 19th, 1986. The galaxy has a diameter 326.16 kly, standard for a large galaxy, though the actual size of the galaxy like most other galaxies is debated. The galaxy also has a luminosity of 3.9308*10^14, with the number of stars estimated to be around ~3.5 billion stars, a standard amount for a galaxy of it’s size. The number of clusters in this galaxy is 30,247, with 27,746 open clusters, and 2,501 globular clusters. The number of nebulae in this galaxy is around 17,497 nebulae. The age of the galaxy is unknown, though it could be 12.5 billion years on the high end and 11.9 billion years on the low end. The galaxy is named because of its blue color that had to be deciphered due to the Redshift of the galaxy. There are 6 main arms of this galaxy, each of them having at least one diverging sub-arm. In the 1990s due to observation data being able to be further detected past 5+ Gly because of new detection methods and technologies, thousands of planets have been detected in this galaxy, and they do not seem that different from planets that you would find in the milky way and IC 1101. Life has been detected in this galaxy, even intelligent life. This galaxy has 2  dwarf galaxies as satellites around it, it even has its own Andromeda analog galaxy. This galaxy also is slightly stretched to its sides making it wider then normal, the galaxy also has large dust clouds spotted in it. However there are no star formation regions that have been detected in this galaxy even that long ago, possibly suggesting the galaxy is now dead or is in the stages of becoming a dead galaxy.
