This new Hubble image is centered on NGC 5793, a spiral galaxy over 150 million light-years away in the constellation of Libra. This galaxy has two particularly striking features: a beautiful dust lane and an intensely bright center - much brighter than that of our own galaxy, or indeed those of most spiral galaxies we observe. It's a is a Seyfert galaxy. These galaxies have incredibly luminous centers that are thought to be caused by hungry supermassive black holes - black holes that can be billions of times the size of the sun - that pull in and devour gas and dust from their surroundings.
