NASA / ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured this peculiar image of M110, a dwarf elliptical galaxy located 2.674 million light-years from Earth in the constellation, and a dwarf elliptical galaxy that is a satellite of Andromeda in the Local Group.
What stands out first is M110’s smooth and nearly featureless structure, along with patches of dust as well as young blue stars near its center. The latter is unusual for dwarf elliptical galaxies in general, while M110 also lacks evidence for a supermassive black hole at its center.

A bright white point of light near the lower right of the image shows the galaxy M110’s core. It’s surrounded by many stars and star clusters, and dark splotches of cosmic dust, with noticeable dark regions at the center and just above the galactic core,” said the NASA Hubble Mission Team.
