The NGC 685 galaxy is located around 58 million light-years from Earth and seems to be spinning in the deep sky like a top.
The galaxy is depicted by the Hubble Space Telescope as having numerous pockets of brilliant blue regions scattered along its curved spiral arms.
Astronomers claim that stars live in densely populated areas known as star clusters.
Numerous twisted red light tendrils, which are thought to depict lanes of gas and dust where new star generations appear over aeons, are closer to the galaxy's centre.

At least 100 million stars can be found in an average-sized galaxy like NGC 685, which covers 60,000 light years and is located in the constellation Eridanus.
Even though the two galaxies differ in size and star count, they have one intriguing thing in common.
Its bright light is caused by a large number of stars concentrated in a very small area. They both have a central bar that cuts across the centre of their respective galactic nuclei.
Even though NGC 685 hasn't received much attention, research on barred spiral galaxies like it helps astronomers understand how galaxies evolve
