Hubble Space Telescope view of M63

Delicate spiral arms encircle the bright nucleus of M63, the Sunflower galaxy, in this Hubble Space Telescope image. M63 is about the same size as our home galaxy, the Milky Way. The galaxy is in the west-northwest in early evening at this time of year, to the left of the handle of the Big Dipper. [NASA/ESA]
