Nasa's Hubble space telescope has captured a stunning image of a galaxy's spiral pattern.
According to Nasa, the NGC 3175 is located around 50 million light-years away in the constellation of Antlia (the Air Pump).
"The galaxy can be seen slicing across the frame in this image from the Nasa/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, with its mix of bright patches of glowing gas, dark lanes of dust, bright core, and whirling, pinwheeling arms coming together to paint a beautiful celestial scene," said the ESA, in a statement posted on Nasa's website.
"Despite being just over 130 million light-years away, the orientation of the galaxy with respect to us makes it easier to spot these new 'stars' as they appear; we see NGC 5468 face on, meaning we can see the galaxy's loose, open spiral pattern in beautiful detail in images such as this one from the Nasa/ESA Hubble Space Telescope," the statement added.
Another study, published earlier this year in the Astrophysical Journal, estimated that the Milky Way weighs in at about 1.5 trillion solar masses (one solar mass is the mass of our Sun).This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine! ?? Our @NASAHubble Space Telescope spotted a galaxy with its mix of bright patches of glowing gas, dark lanes of dust, bright core, and whirling, pinwheeling arms coming together to paint a beautiful celestial scene. Located around 50 million light-years away in the constellation of Antlia (the Air Pump), this galaxy is a member of galaxy groups - some of the most common galactic gatherings in the cosmos, and they comprise 50 or so galaxies all bound together by gravity.
