Exploratory Data Analysis Of The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) And Ngc (5195) Through Image Processing And Astrophysical Techniques

This work explores the gravitational interactions between NGC 5195 and the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) by using Astropy for advanced image processing and exploratory data analysis (EDA) in the Python environment. The main goal of the study is to identify morphological alterations brought on by gravitational forces in the spiral arms of M51. Preprocessing for noise reduction, picture filtering, and Astropy for accurate data analysis are all part of the methodology. The outcomes demonstrate the effectiveness of picture processing and offer insightful information on the gravitational dynamics forming both galaxies. They also make significant contributions to the field of galactic dynamics. In summary, this study contributes to our knowledge of how NGC 5195 affects the morphology of the Whirlpool Galaxy and lays the groundwork for future research on extragalactic astronomy.
