The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of NGC 1266, a lenticular galaxy with a bright center and hints of spiral structure, but lacking discernable spiral arms. This galaxy is considered a post-starburst galaxy, meaning it has recently undergone a period of intense star formation. The image provides a glimpse of the galaxy in a transitional phase.
