Hubble Captured a Face-on Starburst Galaxy After Spotting Twin Quasars!

I just Posted a 10-minute video of some of what has been captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, then I checked out this Hubble Masterpiece and Voila! An absolutely astounding capture of Galaxy Messier 61, a barred-spiral galaxy located some 52 million light-years away from Earth... M-61 presents its face to Hubble, which provides astronomers with the best view of this particular Galaxy, most are captured edge on or slightly oblique...

ABOUT MESSIER 61:
Messier 61 is an intermediate barred spiral galaxy in the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. It was first discovered by Barnaba Oriani on May 5, 1779, six days before Charles Messier discovered the same galaxy. Messier had observed it on the same night as Oriani but had mistaken it for a comet. Wikipedia

Distance to Earth: 52.51 million light years
Distance: 52.5 ± 2.3 Mly (16.10 ± 0.71 Mpc)
Apparent magnitude (V): 10.18
Constellation: Virgo
Heliocentric radial velocity: 1566 ± 2 km/s
Galaxy type: starburst galaxy nasa.gov

Description From Scientific Dots:
Hubble captures a spectacular face-on Starburst galaxy. The scientists working with the Hubble Space Telescope which has shared another spectacular image of space. This image shows galaxy M61, located in the Virgo Cluster, with its spiral arms and regions of star formation shown in red. The image was created by processing data sent from the space-based Hubble. The galaxy M61 is considered as completely flat, thus we can get an outstanding view of its structure. It is located 52 million light years away from our earth. But still scientists consider this galaxy as observable because of its face on appearance.
