NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, the US space agency, has captured some interesting images of the universe during its more than 30 – year journey. This helped the astronomers to understand the mysterious events taking place there. These images include an image of a spiral galaxy named ‘NGC 3147’. The galaxy is located about 130 million light-years away in the Draco constellation known as the ‘Dragon’. The image shows the curved arms of the Milky Way looking like a circular ladder extending into space. In fact, they have pink nebulae and blue stars.

The film was first released in July 2019. There is a black hole in the center of the galaxy, but it is not very delicate or malnourished, surrounded by a thin compact disk of stars, gas and dust. However, the gravitational pull of this black hole is so strong that whatever comes close to it will flow onto the disk.

According to NASA’s Hubble team, this ‘monster’ black hole weighs about 250 million times the mass of our Sun.

It is noteworthy that the Hubble Telescope is constantly working to observe events in space. When astronomers find an image to arouse curiosity, its team releases photos on social media.

Recently, it shared an image of a spiral galaxy called Caldwell 5. This galaxy is located about 11 million light years away from us. At its center is an active star nursery that can produce thousands of stars in just a few million years. The Caldwell 5 Galaxy is very bright. But it is covered by the gas of the universe, the dark dust, and the bright stars. According to scientists, if it had not been covered by so many shells, it would have become one of the brightest galaxies in our sky. The existence of this galaxy is claimed to be billions of years old.

The galaxy was discovered in the early 1890s by the British astronomer William Frederick Denning. It is located in the constellation Camelopardalis and is best seen in early winter.
