Hubble's Spectacular Views of Galactic Wonders.

TL;DR Summary
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new image of the galaxy NGC 4395, which contains an actively feeding supermassive black hole at its center. This black hole is considered one of the lowest mass supermassive holes ever detected, with only 10,000 times the mass of the Sun. NGC 4395 is unique among Seyfert galaxies due to its lack of galactic bulge, and it's considered a Seyfert galaxy because it contains an active galactic nuclei (AGN), a small region at its center that is brighter than can be explained by the stellar population alone.
