Hubble showed a photo of a galaxy that is different from the rest

A new image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a giant elliptical galaxy

UGC 10143.It is located in the center of the Abell 2147 galaxy cluster, at a distance of about 486 million light years from Earth in the constellation Serpens. UGC 10143 is the largest and brightest object in Abell 2147. The cluster itself may be part of a much larger supercluster of galaxies called Hercules.

Bright center of UGC 10143, dim extended halo,the absence of spiral arms and star-forming dust lanes distinguishes it from an ordinary elliptical galaxy. However, it still belongs to this class. Recall that elliptical galaxies are a class of galaxies with a spherical structure without any features. It is one of the four main types of galaxies described by Edwin Hubble, along with spiral, lenticular and irregular.

Image UGC 10143 is part of the reviewglobular star clusters. They help astronomers trace the origin and evolution of their galactic neighbors. To date, the Hubble survey has looked at the distribution, brightness and metal abundances of more than 35,000 globular star clusters.

Data used to create the imageHubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys. The blue color represents visible blue light, and the reddish-orange color represents near-infrared light.
