A lone source shines out brightly from the dark expanse of deep space, glowing softly against a picturesque backdrop of distant stars and colorful galaxies.
Captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), this scene shows PGC 83677, a lenticular galaxy — a galaxy type that sits between the more familiar elliptical and spiral varieties.
It reveals both the relatively calm outskirts and intriguing core of PGC 83677. Here, studies have uncovered signs of a monstrous black hole that is spewing out high-energy X-rays and ultraviolet light.

el dispensador dice:
cuando el sentido no alcanza,
cuando los ojos no son suficientes,
debes emplear con ingenio,
lo que está más allá de tu mente,
la luz conserva dobleces,
que siempre afectan al tiempo,
si utilizas una lente,
puede que encuentres tu sueño.
