A Meandering Spiral Galaxy: NGC 5486 | Hubble
The irregular spiral galaxy NGC 5486 hangs against a background of dim, distant galaxies in this image from the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope. The tenuous disc of the galaxy is threaded through with pink wisps of star formation, which stand out from the diffuse glow of the galaxy’s bright core. NGC 5486 lies 110 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major.
