The image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope shows the spiral galaxy around 30 million light-years away up close, in all its glory.

'The 'S' is straightforward, identifying it as a spiral galaxy, which it clearly is, given the well-defined arms of bright stars and darker dust that curl outwards from the galaxy's dense and bright core. The 'AB' is a little more complex. It means that the galaxy is weakly barred, which refers to the shape of the galaxy's centre.'ESA Hubble said that this galaxy is quite an 'intermediate spiral galaxy on many fronts.
