The Stars of NGC 300
This Hubble Space Telescope image shows the inner region of NGC 300, a spiral galaxy 6.5 million light-years away. Individual stars are resolved, appearing like grains of sand. The galaxy's bright, densely packed core is surrounded by dark dust lanes and a loose array of stars in the galactic plane. NGC 300 is part of a group of galaxies named for the sculptor.
