US EditionAstronomers create a dazzling, elaborate map of nearby galaxy in thousands of colors
- On June 16, 2025, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of the nearby dwarf galaxy NGC 4449 located 12 million light-years away in the Canes Venatici constellation.
- This observation followed previous images and combines multiple wavelengths to study NGC 4449’s star-formation history, driven by its interactions with neighboring galaxies that increased gas and dust density.
- The image shows dark tendrils of dust, bright pink star-forming regions of ionized hydrogen, energetic young stars emitting blue and ultraviolet light, and older red stars near the galaxy’s core.
- A bright yellow foreground star produces characteristic cross-shaped diffraction spikes caused by Hubble’s internal support structure, which appear only on the brightest sources of light in its images.
- The new detailed view confirms NGC 4449 as a starburst galaxy producing stars faster than expected for its size and offers an excellent case to study how galaxy interactions trigger star formation.
