COSMIC MESSAGE

The Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys resolved individual stars in the inner region of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1313. This galaxy is about 14 million light-years distant. Hubble's ability to distinguish these stars helps astronomers understand the fate of star clusters. These bright young stars are spread throughout the galaxy's disk.
