A space telescope has captured our galaxy's doppelganger. It lies 30 million light-years away.

The brilliant object is a spiral galaxy dubbed GC 6744. And the European Space Agency's Euclid craft — launched in 2023 and packing a high-resolution 1.2-meter (four-foot) wide telescope — snapped a new razor-sharp image of this star-filled galaxy.

"This galaxy is often called a doppelganger of our own Milky Way galaxy due to their similarities," the agency noted.
