Spotted! A relatively faint spiral galaxy located over 20 million light-years away in the constellation of Leo (The Lion). This Hubble Space Telescope image combines observations gathered in five different filters, bringing together ultraviolet, visible and infrared light to show off the galaxy in all its glory. It was discovered by Wilhelm Herschel in 1783. Another galaxy is also visible on the upper right of the frame, located much farther away from Earth.
