Far away in the constellation Pegasus...⁣

Approximately 164 million light-years away lies this spiral galaxy with a peculiarly long arm, imaged by NASAHubble. With a diameter of around 115,000 light-years, this bright spiral galaxy is a similar size to our own galaxy (the Milky Way). Astronomer William Herschel discovered it in 1784.⁣
