NASA has shared the photo on its social media handle. According to the space agency, the Galaxy UGC 8091 is located in the Virgo planetarium 70 lakh light year away from the Earth. Together it is written that it is as if Christmas is being celebrated in the universe as well. Even though it is being called a dwarf galaxy, the space agency says that it has billions of stars. Due to its shape, it is called an irregular galaxy. Due to which it looks like snow globe.
NASA’s caption suggests that UGC 8091 is not only irregular, but a dwarf, or petty galaxy. It is much smaller than galaxy galaxies like Milky Way. The photo has been taken with the help of NASA’s Hubble Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Survey. 12 camera filters have been used in it.

The red part seen in the photo shows hydrogen molecules coming out of the wires that are constantly throwing lights. According to NASA, these stars are born new and are still hot.
