The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope photographed the irregular galaxy Arp 263 in the constellation Leo.
This was reported by the NASA observatory, Ukrinform reports.
Arp 263, also known as NGC 3239, is a heterogeneous, irregularly shaped galaxy filled with new star forming regions.
Astronomers believe that its irregular appearance is due to the fact that it was formed as a result of the merger of two galaxies.
Arp 263 is located about 25 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo.
It is noted that the bright star BD+17 2217 can also be seen in the image.
An irregular galaxy (also known as an irregular galaxy or irregular galaxy) is a galaxy with irregular outlines or an uneven distribution of luminosity.
As reported by Ukrinform, the NASA/ESA Hubble space telescope photographed the extraordinary galaxy cluster eMACS J1353.7+4329.
