Hubble Captures Steller Nurseries in a Majestic Spiral
This image from the NASAESA Hubble Space Telescope features the spiral galaxy IC 1954, located 45 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Horologium. It sports a glowing bar in its core, majestically winding spiral arms, and clouds of dark dust across it. Numerous glowing, pink spots across the disc of the galaxy are H-alpha . https://science.nasa.gov/m...#nasa #space #news #nasa_astrophysics #nasa_galaxies #nasa_spiral_galaxies #nasa_stars #nasa_organizations #nasa_general #nasa_ames_research_center #nasa_cubesats #nasa_science_ &_research #nasa_space_biology #nasa_stennis_space_center #nasa_black_holes #nasa_missions #nasa_the_universe #nasa_get_involved #nasa_artemis #nasa_artemis_3 #nasa_earth 's_moon #nasa_nasa_directorates #nasa_the_solar_system #nasa_commercial_crew #nasa_kennedy_space_center
