The latest image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope reveals a sharp view of the spiral galaxy NGC 2397. It shows a rare Hubble view of the early stages of supernova SN 2006bc, discovered in March 2006. NGC 2397 is a classic spiral galaxy with long, prominent dust lanes along the edges of its arms, seen as dark patches and streaks silhouetted against the starlight. Hubble’s exquisite resolution allows the study of individual stars in nearby galaxies.    (source: esa.int)
