Our #HubbleTopImage features a barred spiral galaxy!⁠ ⁠ NGC 5335 is categorized as a flocculent spiral galaxy, with patchy streamers of star formation across its disk. There is a striking lack of well-defined spiral arms that are commonly found among galaxies.⁠ ⁠ A notable bar structure slices across the centre of the galaxy. Such bars are dynamic in galaxies and may come and go over two-billion-year intervals. They appear in about 30 percent of observed galaxies, including our Milky Way 🌌⁠ ⁠ For more information check the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📷 NASA, ESA, STScI⁠ ⁠ #ESA #Hubble
