Yesterday, I posted a video about the black hole at the center of the galaxy known as Messier 77. This picture of M77 was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Messier 77
Messier 77 (aka, M77 or NGC 1068) is a barred spiral galaxy about 47 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus. This Hubble visible light image doesn’t reveal M77’s central bar. However, infrared images of the inner part of the galaxy reveal a prominent bar feature, so it is considered a barred spiral galaxy.
