Astronomers on Wednesday released an ultra-detailed image of the Sculptor Galaxy, captured after 50 hours of observations using one of the world’s largest telescopes. The picture shows the galaxy, located 11 million light-years from Earth, in around 4,000 different colours. Like the Milky Way, it's a barred spiral galaxy with a diameter of about 88,000 light-years.
