Hubble's Stunning Edge-On Spiral Galaxy Image

The Hubble Space Telescope captured an edge-on view of the spiral galaxy UGC 10043, located 150 million light-years away in the constellation Serpens. This perspective highlights the galaxy's disk as a sharp line with dust lanes obscuring its glow, while active star-forming regions and a prominent central bulge are visible. The bulge's size and the disk's warp may result from material siphoned from a nearby dwarf galaxy. The image is a composite of data collected 23 years apart, showcasing Hubble's long-term contributions to astronomy.

Hubble's Stunning Galaxy Portraits: A Cosmic Journey

The Hubble Space Telescope has been observing the spiral galaxy UGC 10043, located 150 million light-years away, for over 23 years. Initially captured in 2000, Hubble revisited the galaxy in 2023, combining data from both years to create a detailed image. This long-term observation allows astronomers to study the galaxy's evolution, revealing features like a large bulge possibly caused by interactions with nearby dwarf galaxies. Hubble's ability to capture images across different wavelengths provides unique insights into the galaxy's structure and star formation.

Hubble Reveals UGC 10043's Enigmatic Edge-On Spiral

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a unique edge-on image of the spiral galaxy UGC 10043, located 150 million light-years away in the constellation Serpens. This perspective reveals the galaxy's disk as a sharp line with prominent dust lanes and a visible central bulge. The unusual view is attributed to the galaxy's large bulging disk, possibly due to material siphoning from a nearby dwarf galaxy. The image is a composite of frames taken 23 years apart, showcasing Hubble's long-term data collection capabilities.
