The Hubble Space Telescope is spying on the neighbors again.
In a newly released image, the space telescope took an extraordinarily detailed look at one of the Milky Way galaxy's closest neighbors. In the image, the irregular galaxy ESO 174–1 looks like a wispy cloud of milky white gas that is alone in space apart from a background of bright stars. Other stars can be seen within the cloud-like body of ESO 174–1, as can a dark tendril of gas and dust.
