GREENBELT, Md., Sept. 19 (UPI) -- The galaxy PGC 83677 appears as a lone bright orb in an otherwise dark and lonely corner of the universe. Recently, Hubble spotted the soft, white glow of the galaxy set against a background of faraway stars and galaxies.
PGC 83677 is a lenticular, or lens-shaped, galaxy -- a shape bridging the gap between elliptical and spiral galaxy structures. The galaxy is located 300 light-years from Earth, and appears within the constellation Coma Berenices.
