It’s been a little while since the Hubble Space telescope bestowed a mind-blowing space photo on us, but this one was worth the wait.

Any telescope will show this galaxy which is very easy to find in the night sky if you know where to look.  All you will see is a small fuzzy object but that Hubble picture shows what it really looks like!   8-)
