Edited <b>European Southern Observatory</b> image of the very nice-looking galaxy M77. Color/processing variant.
<b>Original caption</b>: ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) has captured a magnificent face-on view of the barred spiral galaxy Messier 77. The image does justice to the galaxy’s beauty, showcasing its glittering arms criss-crossed with dust lanes — but it fails to betray Messier 77’s turbulent nature.
