The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a striking new view of a distant spiral galaxy whose star-studded arms are all tangled up. 

Located about 30 million light-years from Earth, NGC 1385 is a barred spiral galaxy with several arms that are mixed together, creating an oval appearance. The galaxy's core glows brightly with an active, growing black hole that feeds on neighboring, densely packed star clusters.
