A dazzling new image from the Hubble Space Telescope captures a bright spiral galaxy on a diagonal tilt, resembling a pendulum swinging back and forth through space.
The galaxy, called IC 1954, is located approximately 45 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Horologium, The Clock. It boasts a bright central bar and two large, winding spiral arms threaded with dark clouds of dust and speckled with blue and pink glowing patches.
