This is a photo from the Hubble Telescope‘s recent 15th Anniversary Series.

From Hubble’s description of the photo :

The graceful, winding arms of the majestic spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194) appear like a grand spiral staircase sweeping through space. They are actually long lanes of stars and gas laced with dust.

Beautiful.
