Hubble Space Telescope

A galactic tilt-a-whirl 🌀 Located 43 million light-years away, the subject of this new #HubbleFriday view is the spiral galaxy NGC 3511. From Hubble's vantage point, NGC 3511 appears to be tilted. These observations were captured as part of a survey of the star formation cycle in (relatively) nearby galaxies. For more information, check out the link in our bio! Image description: A spiral galaxy in space. It is visible at a tilted angle and appears as a stormy disk filled with clouds of stars and dust. It is colored more yellowish in the center, and bluer out toward the edge of the disk, where the ends of curved spiral arms break away from the disk. Spots of red light scattered through the galaxy mark where stars are actively forming. The galaxy is on a black background. Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, D.
