Description
English: This new Hubble image shows the scatterings of bright stars and thick dust that make up spiral galaxy Messier 83, otherwise known as the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy. One of the largest and closest barred spirals to us, this galaxy is dramatic and mysterious; it has hosted a large number of supernova explosions, and appears to have a double nucleus lurking at its core.
Español: Imagen de Hubble que muestra las estrellas brillantes dispersas y el polvo espeso que forman la galaxia espiral Messier 83, también conocida como Molinillo Austral. Esta galaxia, una de las espirales barradas más grandes y más cercanas a la Tierra, parece tener un núcleo doble en el centro y ha producido un gran número de supernovas.
