This is a massive nearby spiral galaxy. IT is cataloged NGC 2841. It was taken by the Hubble and Subaru telescope with Roberto Colombari. This galaxy is a whopping 46 million light-years distant. It is just above the constellation Ursa Major which is also called the bear. It also has a messier object in it. At our point of view we can see that this galaxy has a bright center, that is basically a nucleus of the entire thing. This galaxy's spiral arms are not as long as some other ones. For example, the sombrero galaxy. But going back to this galaxy, it has a diameter of over 150,000 light years. This picture is also not in visible light. This is because this galaxy is most likely blocked by interstellar matter, which is dust and other elements. Nonetheless this galaxy has a quaint but elegant halo on it. This picture is just so stellar. It looks like an explosion is about to happen. Like all the matter is coming into one spot then rebounds with an explosion. Much like how a red supergiant explodes. It gets so heavy that it cant contain every thing and reaches the chandraskar mass and then rebounds. With a supern ova explosion.
