The Hubble Telescope continues to inspire space enthusiasts with its breathtaking images.
A new photo released by NASA shows A “ Christmas tree ball” of stars created with a stunning chromatic effect.
The subject of the image is the irregularly shaped dwarf galaxy UGC 8091, located in the constellation Virgo, at a distance of approximately seven million light years from Earth. Scientists used data collected by the Wide Field Camera and the Pre-Camera for Hubble telescope surveys from 2006 to 2021. The data went through 12 filters covering the range from mid-ultraviolet to visible red light.
