Pan of Serene Supernova Aftermath: Galaxy UGC 11860 | Hubble

The spiral galaxy UGC 11860 seems to float serenely against a field of background galaxies in this image from the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope. UGC 11860 lies around 184 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus, and its untroubled appearance is deceiving; this galaxy recently played host to an almost unimaginably energetic stellar explosion.
