Hubble Spiral Galaxy NGC 5643
NASA / ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured this glorious image of spiral galaxy NGC 5643, which is located 40 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Lupus. Scientifically speaking, this would be classified as a grand design spiral because its two large, winding spiral arms are clear to see, defined by bright blue stars, lacy reddish-brown dust clouds and pink star-forming regions.
