M32: Blue Stars in an Elliptical Galaxy
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Elliptical galaxies are known for their old, red stars, but the centers of some, like M32, emit unexpectedly high amounts of blue and ultraviolet light. This Hubble Space Telescope image shows blue light, which in spiral galaxies comes from massive, young, hot stars. This contrasts with the older, cooler stars thought to compose most ellipticals.
