"Hubble Telescope Captures Mesmerizing Glowing Galactic Disk in Deep Space"

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of a distant galaxy, NGC 3156, located 73 million light-years away in the Sextans constellation. This lenticular galaxy features a bright central bulge and faint concentric ovals that become progressively brighter towards the core. Two threads of dark red interstellar dust can be seen crossing the galaxy's disk. The photo also reveals the sparse surroundings of deep space. The Sextans constellation, named after an ancient astronomical tool, occupies a relatively dark area of the sky. The Hubble's advanced instruments have allowed astronomers to study NGC 3156's position, stellar population, and its supermassive black hole.
