Hubble reveals stunning edge-on view of spiral galaxy
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Dec 13, 2024
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has provided an extraordinary image of the spiral galaxy UGC 10043, located approximately 150 million light-years from Earth in the Serpens constellation. Viewed edge-on, this galaxy offers a rare perspective, with its spiral arms hidden from view, revealing a sharp profile against the cosmic backdrop.
In this edge-on orientation, UGC 10043's disk appear
