Uncovering the Details of a Beautiful Spiral Galaxy: Hubble's View of UGC 5797
Astronomers have just discovered a stunning spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Pisces. This galaxy, dubbed UGC 11862, was spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope and is one of the most beautiful galaxies ever seen. The galaxy is estimated to be around 500 million light-years away from us and has a stunningly bright nucleus. The bright nucleus is surrounded by a symmetrical spiral pattern of stars and swirling clouds of gas and dust. This spiral pattern is so detailed, that astronomers have been able to identify multiple stars and star clusters in the arms of the galaxy. UGC 11862 is a truly remarkable sight and highlights the power of the Hubble Space Telescope.
