COSMIC MESSAGE
In the center of the Whirlpool Galaxy, M51, the Hubble Space Telescope reveals a dense region of young stars. These millions of stars, perhaps one tenth the age of our Sun, are packed into an area only 80 light-years across. The galaxy's graceful spiral arms, 23 million light-years away, are fueled by this central star birth.
