Spiral Galaxy NGC 3310 in Ultraviolet
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
NGC 3310 is a spiral galaxy bursting with new stars. The Hubble Space Telescope captured this image in ultraviolet light, highlighting the hottest, youngest stars. Astronomers believe a collision with a smaller companion galaxy about 50 million years ago triggered this star formation. This merger likely sent density waves through the galaxy's disk, compressing gas and dust to form new stars.
