Hubble discovered the galaxy with brilliant lenses

The US Aerospace Agency (NASA) has said its Hubble Space Telescope has captured the brilliant image of a galaxy in bright red and yellow patches, making it look like an explosion in the Hollywood action movie.

Galaxy NGC 5010

This galaxy named NGC 5010 is in transition, from a spiral galaxy to an elliptical galaxy. During this period, astronomers called NGC 5010 a lens-like galaxy because it carries both the characteristics of a spiral and an ellipse.

NGC 5010 is 140 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo (Virgin). Because this galaxy is horizontal compared to ours, the Hubble telescope can observe dark bands, dust as remnants of spiral arms.

Notably, NGC 5010 began to expand on the disk when it turned into a more rounded shape.

Most stars in this galaxy are red or older stars. NGC 5010 no longer contains all of the same components as younger galaxies where still produces new star populations.

Most of the dust and gas fuel needed to create new stars is depleted in the galaxy NGC 5010. Over time, the galaxy will gradually progress to a "red and dead" state , the phrase being Astronomers use to refer to elliptical galaxies.
