Hubble Observes Blue Dotted Spiral Galaxy NGC 5530 Located 40 Million Light-Years Away

NASA / ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope observes the blue dotted spiral galaxy NGC 5530, located 40 million light-years away in the constellation Lupus. This “flocculent” spiral boasts patchy, fluffy-looking arms that aren’t as tightly wound or structured, giving it a softer, more delicate appearance in images, almost like cosmic cotton candy. When you look at [...]
