The aging but tenacious Hubble Space Telescope has beamed back yet another stunning photo of a distant galaxy. 

Hubble's latest view captures the barred spiral galaxy NGC 3059, which lies about 57 million light-years from Earth. The photo, released on June 7, was taken in May using the space telescope's Wide Field Camera 3 instrument as part of a broader galactic study, according to a statement from NASA.
