Hubble Space Telescope, NASA’s most successful failure / repair. Still going at 27 years service with lifespan to 2030 and maybe 2040.

I am curious about the apparent edge on galaxy behind this galaxy. Seems to be ESO 273-014, a dwarf satellite of NGC 5643.

Not THAT close to us.

Does this galaxy have a name because a catalog number isn’t a real name.
If not I’m claiming this galaxy for my self.
