The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured the spiral galaxy NGC 2835 before, but this image incorporates additional H-alpha emission data. The regions bright in H-alpha emission can be seen blooming in pink along NGC 2835’s spiral arms! 🌸 Astronomers are interested in H-alpha light because it signals the presence of several different types of nebulae that arise during different stages of a star’s life: from newborn stars to supernova remnants.

The majestic spiral galaxy NGC 1300’s arms hold blue clusters of young stars, pink clouds of star formation, and dark lanes of dust. To represent this image with sound, scientists assigned louder volume to brighter light. Light farther from the center is pitched higher as a counterclockwise radar scans across the galaxy. NGC 1300 resides nearly 70 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. For more about sonifications: https://go.nasa.gov/38ke4l4 Sonification credits: SYSTEM Sounds

Time for a galactic quest to NGC 1300! This majestic spiral galaxy is nearly 70 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. It contains pink clouds of star formation, blue clusters of young stars, and dark lanes of dust. Image credit: NASA, ESA, and G.
