NGC 6814: Grand Design Spiral Galaxy from Hubble
This Hubble Space Telescope image captures NGC 6814, a spiral galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its core. The black hole is about 10 million times the mass of our Sun. It pulls in stars and gas, surrounded by a spinning disk of hot plasma. The surrounding arms sweep around billions of stars, highlighted by the brightest and bluest.
