Many spiral galaxies, including our own, have a bar of stars across their centers. This image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows the prominently barred spiral galaxy NGC 6217. It is located about 64 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. The image reveals dark dust lanes, clusters of bright blue young stars, and glowing red regions of hydrogen gas where stars are being born.
