Hubble captures a galaxy that glows in blue and gold


Hubble captured a breathtaking view of NGC 6000, a spiral galaxy where blue newborn stars shine beside golden, aging ones. The image also reveals traces of ancient supernovae still glowing faintly among the stars. As a bonus, an asteroid crossed Hubble’s field of view, leaving bright streaks that photobombed the shot. The result is a vivid snapshot of cosmic beauty and chance.
