Hubble discovered UGC 12588 Nebula

 UGC 12588, displays neither a bar of stars across it's centre nor the classic prominent spiral arm pattern. It's circular, white and unstructured centre makes this young galaxy more reminscent of a Cinnamon bun than a megastructure of stars and gas in space.

It lies in the Northern Hemisphere of Constellation of Andromeda and is a spiral galaxy, the huge arms of stars and gas in UGC 12588 are very faint, undistinguished and tightly wounded around it's centre.
