NASA has released a new image from the Hubble Space Telescope showing the spiral galaxy NGC 3137. The galaxy is located 53 million light-years away from Earth.
The image combines six color bands to highlight blue star clusters and red gas clouds within the galaxy. At the center of NGC 3137 lies a supermassive black hole with a mass about 60 million times that of the Sun.
Hubble continues to provide detailed views of distant galaxies, contributing to the study of galactic structure and black hole formation. The telescope has been in operation for over three decades.
NASA and ESA/Hubble have not disclosed any further details about the observation or future imaging plans.
