Description
The thin, glowing streak slicing across this image cuts a lonely figure, with only a few foreground stars and galaxies in the distant background for company. The subject of this Hubble image is spiral galaxy NGC 3501. In this view, the galaxy appears edge-on, giving it an elongated and very narrow appearance. The galaxy's loosely wound spiral arms originate from its center. The bright gas and stars that make up these arms can be seen here glowing brightly, mottled by the dark dust lanes that trace across the galaxy.
