More passion, more energy, more footwork NASAHubble captured this image of an extremely energetic galaxy that lies around 50 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. At its core lies an active galactic nucleus (AGN), an extremely bright region powered by a supermassive black hole. This galaxy is also classified as a Seyfert galaxy, which differs from other galaxies that host AGNs because the rest of the galaxy can still be clearly seen. Astronomers used Hubble’s observations and data collected by NASAWebb to study the star formation process and how galaxies evolve. Image description: A massive spiral galaxy fills the image. A bright, yellow galactic core glows at the center, surrounded by spiral arms studded with pink stars and dark lanes of dust. Credit: NASA, ESA, and D.
