"Hubble Telescope Captures Mesmerizing Glowing Galactic Disk in Deep Space"
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of the distant galaxy NGC 3156, located 73 million light-years away in the Sextans constellation. NGC 3156 is a lenticular galaxy, characterized by a bright central bulge and no distinct spiral arms. The image reveals faint concentric ovals that grow brighter towards the galaxy's core, as well as two threads of dark red interstellar dust circling the central bulge. The sparse surrounding area suggests few cosmic neighbors. The Sextans constellation is named after the astronomical tool used to measure angular distances in the sky, and the Hubble photo highlights the historical significance of sextants in astronomy.
