Hubble view of M 106 - space

This image combines Hubble observations of M 106 with additional information captured by amateur astronomers Robert Gendler and Jay GaBany. Gendler combined Hubble data with his own observations to produce this stunning colour image.\r\n\r\nM 106 is a relatively nearby spiral galaxy, a little over 20 million light-years away.\r\n\r\n\r\nCredit:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nNASA, ESA, the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA), and R.
