Space Spiral 🌀 Located about 80 million light-years away in the constellation Camelopardalis, this galaxy pictured by NASAHubble unfurls its gorgeous spiral arms in a cosmic display. The galaxy is characterized as both an intermediate spiral and an active galactic nuclei. As an intermediate spiral, the galaxy is neither “barred” nor “unbarred," meaning it doesn’t have a well-defined “bar” of stars at its galactic center, nor are its spirals tightly bound. Additionally, as an active galactic nuclei, this galaxy has a notably bright center that far outshines the rest of the galaxy at certain wavelengths of light. This likely means that the galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its core which churns out bright jets and winds that helps to shape its iconic spiraling shape. Although eye-catching, on a cosmic level this galaxy is a fairly common type of active galactic nuclei. There are several methods in use for classifying galaxies according to their morphologies, or forms, the most...
