The Hubble Telescope Spotted A Sparkling Galaxy
Before it was shut down due to a computer glitch, the Hubble Space Telescope was able to capture an impressive picture of a deep space galaxy with a core that gives off the same amount of energy as the rest of the galaxy together.
The galaxy, known as NGC 3254, is not a spiral galaxy, like the Milky Way, but a Seyfert galaxy, a classification of types of galaxies that emit radiation from highly ionized gas.
