ScienceDaily (Nov. 9, 2012) —
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a beautiful galaxy
that, with its reddish and yellow central area, looks rather like an
explosion from a Hollywood movie. The galaxy, called NGC 5010, is in a
period of transition. The aging galaxy is moving on from life as a
spiral galaxy, like our Milky Way, to an older, less defined type called
an elliptical galaxy. In this in-between phase, astronomers refer to
NGC 5010 as a lenticular galaxy, which has features of both spirals and
ellipticals.
