Hubble is doing what he does best.
Some of the Hubble Space Telescope's most famous and stunning images are of distant galaxies, and this one is gorgeous as well.
The Grand Design Spiral is located 53 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Ursa Major.
The spirals of grand design appear to wind around and into the nucleus of the galaxy.
A spiral galaxy is a type of spiral galaxy with prominent and well-defined spiral arms. The arms of the galaxy look like they are winding around and going out from the center. Other spiral galaxies might have more than one arm. About 10% of spiral galaxies are called Grand Design Spirals.
You can see bright star forming regions along the inner part of the spiral arms, and the new stars show up as a bright blue.
The data was taken with Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys.
