The Hubble team has released a beautiful photo taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of half of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 6000.
NGC 6000 is located approximately 102 million light-years away in the constellation of Scorpius.
Otherwise known as ESO 450-20, IRAS 15467-2914 or LEDA 56145, this spiral galaxy is almost 67,000 light-years across.
Also classified as Seyfert II galaxy, NGC 6000 is the brightest of all the galaxies in the constellation Scorpius.
“NGC 6000 has a glowing yellow center and glittering blue outskirts,” the Hubble astronomers said in a statement.
