NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) often delights the internet with updates on the latest developments related to galaxies, stars and planets within our solar system. It also shares captivating images captured by its many spacecraft. Now, in its most recent post, the US space agency dropped a stunning photograph of a spiral galaxy located 220 million light-years from Earth. The image of the galaxy, which is also known as the "jellyfish" galaxy, was captured using NASA and the European Space Agency's Hubble Space Telescope.
"This spiral galaxy, found 220 million light-years from Earth (and seen here by @NASAHubble), is known as a "jellyfish" galaxy because of the blue ribbons of stars that trail from it like cosmic tentacles," NASA wrote in the caption.
"When viewed in X-ray light, though, an even longer tail of hot gas emerges which extends across 260,000 light-years of space-shown here in purplish-blue with data from @NASAChandraXRay," it added.
