Hubble captures detailed image of tilted spiral galaxy NGC 3137
The Hubble Space Telescope released a striking high‑resolution photograph of the spiral galaxy NGC 3137, which appears tilted, allowing a clear view of its luminous disk and central bulge. Astronomers say the image will help refine models of star formation in spiral arms and improve distance measurements across the universe. The picture will be featured as NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day.
