NASA / ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured this dazzling image of bright barred spiral galaxy NGC 3783 located 130 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Centaurus. We see it face-on, with its bright center crossed by a glowing bar and surrounded by tightly-wound spiral arms that form a circular shape with relatively clear edges.
Distant galaxies can be seen around it, along with a few bright stars, on a dark background. One star to the right of the galaxy, known as HD 101274, is very large and extremely bright with long diffraction spikes around it. HD 101274 is an optical illusion, as it lies just 1,530 light-years from Earth, meaning it is about 85,000 times closer than NGC 3783.

NGC 3783 is a type-1 Seyfert galaxy, which is a galaxy with a bright central region — so it’s particularly bright itself, as far as galaxies go. In this image it is recorded by Hubble in incredible detail, from its glowing central bar to its narrow, winding arms and the dust threaded through them, thanks to five separate images taken in different wavelengths of light,” said the ESA.
