This was reported by the NASA observatory, Ukrinform reports.

An irregular galaxy (also known as an irregular or irregular galaxy) is a galaxy with irregular outlines or an irregular luminosity distribution.

ESO 174-1 is located about 11 million light-years from Earth and consists of a bright cloud of stars and a faint “wire hole” of dark gas and dust.

This image is said to be part of a collection of Hubble observations aimed at recognizing our closest galactic neighbors.

To be more precise, these observations aim to identify the brightest stars and key features of every known galaxy within 10 megaparsecs.

A parsec is a unit used by astronomers to measure distances to other galaxies. So 10 megaparsec means 32 million light years.

For example, Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Sun, is about 1.3 parsecs, or 40 million kilometers away.

As Ukrinform reports, the NASA/ESA Hubble space telescope photographed the bright globular star cluster NGC 6544 in the constellation Sagittarius.
