NASA posted on Instagram a stunning image of spiral galaxy UGC 10043, located around 150 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Serpens.
Unlike the usual swirling appearance of spiral galaxies, UGC 10043 appears as a thin, straight line because it is viewed on its edge rather than looking at its face.
