DescriptionMessier83 - Heic1403a.jpg	English: This new Hubble image shows the scatterings of bright stars and thick dust that make up spiral galaxy Messier 83, otherwise known as the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy. One of the largest and closest barred spirals to us, this galaxy is dramatic and mysterious; it has hosted a large number of supernova explosions, and appears to have a double nucleus lurking at its core. Español: Imagen de Hubble que muestra las estrellas brillantes dispersas y el polvo espeso que forman la galaxia espiral Messier 83, también conocida como Molinillo Austral. Esta galaxia, una de las espirales barradas más grandes y más cercanas a la Tierra, parece tener un núcleo doble en el centro y ha producido un gran número de supernovas. Русский: На этом новом снимке телескопа Хаббл видны россыпи ярких звёзд и густая пыль, составляющие спиральную галактику Мессье 83, также известную под названием Южная Вертушка. Эта галактика, одна из самых больших и ближайших к нам спиральных с перемычкой, драматична и загадочна; здесь произошло большое количество взрывов сверхновых, и похоже, что в её центре скрывается двойное ядро. Українська: На цьому новому знімку телескопа Габбл видно розсипи яскравих зірок і густий пил, які складають спіральну галактику Мессьє 83, також відому як галактика Південна Вертушка. Ця галактика, одна з найбільших і найближчих до нас спіралей із перемичкою, драматична та загадкова; тут сталася велика кількість вибухів наднових, і, схоже, в її ядрі ховається подвійне ядро.
