Spiral galaxy shimmers

This comely spiral galaxy NGC 1566 is about 40 million light-years away. The galaxy is part of the Seyfert class of galaxies. "The centers of such galaxies are very active and luminous, emitting strong bursts of radiation and potentially harboring supermassive black holes that are many millions of times the mass of the sun," says NASA.
