Hubble Reveals Blue Galaxy Ablaze with Star Formation
Written by Fraser Cain
A new photo released from the Hubble Space Telescope shows how galaxy NGC 7673 is teeming with hot star nurseries. Located 150 million light years away in the constellation of Pegasus, each cluster in this new photograph contains thousands of infant stars burning at incredibly high temperatures. Astronomers aren't sure why this galaxy is so active, but it could be because the galaxy collided with another millions of years ago.
