Dusting Spiral Galaxies
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
How much dust is in spiral galaxies? Astronomers need to know to understand galaxy evolution and dark matter. The Hubble Space Telescope captured a foreground spiral galaxy, its dust backlit by an elliptical galaxy, to help answer that question. It shows how much light the dust blocks from our view.
