Hubble Telescope Reveals Mesmerizing 'Forbidden' Light from a Galaxy

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of a distant spiral galaxy, MCG-01-24-014, showcasing its "forbidden" light. This Type-2 Seyfert galaxy exhibits two well-defined spiral arms and an energetic glowing core known as an active galactic nucleus (AGN). Seyfert galaxies emit spectral lines associated with "forbidden" emissions, which defy certain rules of quantum physics. The Hubble image reveals the galaxy's bright light, with two large stars in the foreground and other distant galaxies in the background.
