GORAJUARA – NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captures a highly irregular neighboring galaxy.
The neighboring galaxy resembles a misty and deserted cloud against a background of bright stars.
Reported from the science.nasa.gov page by GORAJUARA, the neighboring galaxy is nicknamed ESO 174-1 which is located about 11 million light years from Earth.

It is known that ESO 174-1 consists of a cloud of bright stars and faint, winding dark gas and dust.
The images in this article are part of a collection of observations from the Hubble Telescope.
It is designed to better understand the galaxy’s closest neighbors.

Furthermore, this observation also aims to find out the brightest stars in the universe.
Then observations were also made to determine the basic properties of every known galaxy within a distance of 10 megaparsecs.
For your information, Parsec is a unit used by astronomers to measure very large distances to other galaxies.

In 10 megaparsecs it is equivalent to 32 light years, where an example is the closest star to the Sun Proxima Centauri.
Proxima Centauri is about 1.3 parsecs away, where in units this distance is about 40 trillion kilometers.
