The lone spiral galaxy UGC 9391 is recorded 130 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of Draco, near the celestial North Pole, according to the European Space Agency (ESA). Its starry arms are clearly defined. Visible against the background of distant galaxies, such as vortices or haze, due to the great distance from Earth. In addition, the image shows some foreground, brighter, and closer stars, which are surrounded by diffraction tips caused by the interaction of light with Hubble’s complex lenses. This galaxy was used to build the Cosmic Distance Scale, a set of connected measurements that allow you to determine distances to the most distant astronomical objects. Distance estimates, providing a natural laboratory for comparing the two measurement techniques – supernova explosions and Cepheid variables – help. Thus, to determine the speed at which the universe is expanding.

Fabulous! Not everything is solved with the cosmic egg! Is it another story told of deception? The universe has no middle, beginning or end! Human needs of measurement in their actions, anything even with all our brains interconnected will not find the answer. And all this makes the universe very interesting. Wonderful universe!
