New images from the James Space Telescope reveal a new look at spiral galaxies. Bright red bumps in the heart of the galaxy could be evidence of an active supermassive black hole.
The images show a significant difference from old images taken by the previous Hubble Space Telescope of the same galaxies. The Messier 95 galaxy is located in the constellation Leo, 33 million light-years away. It is a barred spiral galaxy, which means it has a strong gravitational pull on its surroundings. The Hubble Telescope captures visible and ultraviolet light coming from the galaxy.
