Bildunterschrift:
This image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows the barred spiral galaxy UGC 6093. This galaxy has two spiral arms in its outer regions but the inner edge of each arm joins with the outer edge of a straight bar feature that goes across the galaxy's center.
This galaxy has been classified as an active galaxy due to the emissions of certain lines in its spectrum. This indicates that the supermassive black hole that lies in the center of the galaxy is accreting gas from its surroundings. Unlike some active galactic nuclei (AGN), the center of this galaxy does not shine especially brightly in the visible light so its status as an AGN is not immediately visible from this image.
