Ua hoʻokuʻu ka US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) i kahi kiʻi kupanaha o ka galaxy spiral ESO 021-G004.
Aia ka mea i kapa ʻia ma kahi o 130 miliona mau makahiki māmā mai iā mākou ma ka constellation Chameleon. Hōʻike maopopo ʻia ke kiʻi i hōʻike ʻia i ke ʻano o ka galaxy, e hoʻomanaʻo ana i kahi "whirlpool" kosmic nui.
Loaʻa i ka Galaxy ESO 021-G004 kahi kumu ikaika, kahi e hana ai nā kaʻina hana i hui pū ʻia me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka nui o ka ikehu. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole i wehewehe ʻia kēlā mau hoʻokuʻu ʻana e ka hana o kēlā me kēia hōkū a me nā paʻi lepo-ea.
Hoʻomaopopo ʻia aia paha kahi lua ʻeleʻele supermassive ma ke kikowaena o ESO 021-G004. ʻO ka nui o ia mau hale mai ka 106 a 109 ka nui o ka lā.
Ua hoʻouna ʻia ke kiʻi i hōʻike ʻia i ka Honua mai ka Hubble Orbital Telescope (NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope). Ua hoʻohana ʻia ka Wide Field Camera 3, ka mea hana ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka ʻike ākea, no ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kiʻi.
