Multi-telescope image showcases the largest known spiral galaxy in the universe

Three telescopes, two of which belong to NASA, have brought their data together to create a spectacular image. The image, which was originally revealed back in January 2013, is a composite of a giant barred spiral galaxy known as NGC 6872. This beautiful and shining galaxy is believed to be the largest known spiral galaxy that humanity has ever uncovered.
