The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope photographed large-scale spiral galaxy NGC 7038 in the Indianus constellation with its Wide Field Camera 3.

As reported by Ukrinform, this was reported by the observatory.

The space object is located 220 million light-years from planet Earth.

The center of the galaxy is stated to have an oval shape with four blue spiral “arms” around it. At the same time, the very center of the galaxy shines brightly with a pale yellow light.

You can also see orange dust in the image, both at the center of NGC 7038 and near its “arms.”

Many small stars and other galaxies can be seen above and below the galaxy on a black background.

This object was discovered by German-born British astronomer John Herschel, who first observed it on September 30, 1834.

As reported by Ukrinform, the NASA/ESA Hubble space telescope photographed two spiral galaxies in the galactic triple Arp 248, also known as “Wild triplets”, thanks to Advanced Camera for Surveys.
