The Hubble Space Telescope photographed the irregular galaxy UGC 5829, located in the constellation Leo Minor.

This was reported by the ESA observatory, according to Ukrinform’s report.

An irregular galaxy (also an irregular galaxy) is a galaxy with irregular outlines or an uneven distribution of brightness.

It is stated that the “spider galaxy” is located approximately 30 million light years away from our planet.

This galaxy has several different names in different catalogues. For example, it has the designation LEDA 31923 in the Lyon-Maddon Extragalactic Database, MCG+06-24-006 in the Catalog of Morphological Galaxies, and SDSS J104242.78+342657.3 in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

It is worth noting that there is another galaxy with a similar but still different name. It is known as the “web galaxy”.

The space object is located approximately 300 times farther from Earth than the galaxy UGC 5829.

According to Ukrinform, the Hubble Space Telescope photographed Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, from both sides.
