The result is an extraordinary picture taken by the Hubble space telescope of billions of stars observed from an unusual angle. The bright nucleus can be seen at the centre, along with the very thin disc that looks like a straight line from our unusual viewing position. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1328052/Crack-universe-Incredible-new-image-distant-galaxy-seen-on.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
