It
tells about an image which captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s
Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). It shows a galaxy named UGC 6093. An UGC 6093 is
something known as a barred spiral galaxy. Moreover, It also has beautiful arms
that swirl outwards from a bar slicing through the galaxy’s center, and is
classified as an active galaxy which means that it hosts an active galactic
nucleus. However, UGC 6093 is more exotic still because this type of object is
dubbed a megamaser (maser being the term for a microwave laser), and it can be
some 100 million times brighter than masers found in galaxies like the Milky
Way.
