This image originally from the Hubble Space Telescope uses new filters and processing techniques to show the spiral galaxy Messier 77, also known as the Squid Galaxy, which sits 45 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus (The Whale). The name Squid Galaxy is recent, and stems from the extended, filamentary structure that curls like tentacles around the galaxy’s disk. Via NASA/ESA
