A stunning image of the “big, beautiful and blue” galaxy GC 2336 was recently captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. NASA said in a press statement that the spiral armed galaxy is quite similar in terms of look to our own Milky Way with its planetary distribution.

But the “quintessential galaxy” is nearly 200,000 light-years across and at a distance of 100 million light-years. The galaxy is located in the northern constellation of Camelopardalis (The Giraffe), said NASA.
