![A swirled galaxy with a bright center and a swooping tail of stars pulled out into a glowing golden loop that eventually trails off to the right of the galaxy. A bright foreground star and more-distant galaxies are visible in the image.](https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/hubbleloopyimage-p1504a1k_1-jpg.webp?w=4096&format=png)
Hubble image of NGC 7714
This NASA Hubble Space Telescope photo of NGC 7714 presents an especially striking view of the galaxy's smoke-ring-like structure. The golden loop is made of sun-like stars that have been pulled deep into space, far from the galaxy's center. The galaxy is located approximately 100 million light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Pisces.
