Explanation:
Returning
to science operations
on June 14,
the Hubble Space Telescope used its new
pointing
mode
to capture this sharp image of
spiral
galaxy NGC 1546.
A member of the
Dorado
galaxy group, the island universe lies
a mere 50 million light-years away.
The galactic disk of NGC 1546 is
tilted to our line-of-sight,
with the yellowish light of the old stars and
bluish regions of newly formed stars shining through the
galaxy's dust lanes.
More distant background galaxies are scattered throughout
this Hubble view.
Launched in 1990, Hubble has been
exploring
the cosmos
for more than
three decades, recently celebrating its 34th anniversary.
