RedNova News: New Hubble Space Telescope Image: Celestial Composition
by crankymessiah at 3:27 pm EDT, Sep 5, 2003

] Amid a backdrop of far-off galaxies, the majestic dusty
] spiral, NGC 3370, looms in the foreground in this NASA
] Hubble Space Telescope image.
]
] Recent observations taken with the Advanced Camera for
] Surveys show intricate spiral arm structure spotted with
] hot areas of new star formation. But this galaxy is more
] than just a pretty face. Nearly 10 years earlier NGC
] 3370, in the constellation Leo, hosted a bright exploding
] star.
]
] In November 1994, the light of a supernova in nearby NGC
] 3370 reached Earth. This stellar outburst briefly
] outshone all of the tens of billions of other stars in
] its galaxy.

Best Hubble image I've seen yet.
