The Galactic Ring of NGC 6782
Spiral galaxies can look very different depending on the wavelength of light. NGC 6782 appears as a normal spiral with a central bar in visible light. However, a Hubble Space Telescope image in ultraviolet light reveals a complex circumnuclear ring in its central region. This ring highlights many young stars that formed during a recent burst of star formation.
