This NASA Hubble image provides a detailed view of Erboga A, one of the brightest galaxies in the night sky. Erboga A once collided with another galaxy and the interaction created powerful shock waves. These waves compressed clouds of hydrogen gas, triggering a process of intense star formation. In the image, these newborn star clusters appear as red blobs and shine through the dusty structure of the galaxy.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured this image in 2010 with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). WFC3, which was added to the telescope in 2009, is capable of studying the universe in a wide range of wavelengths, from ultraviolet to infrared.

Image description:

Bright stars backlight the cosmic dust cloud, with delicate swirls of dust stretching from the upper left corner to the lower right corner of this image. Reddish specks of newly forming stars are scattered throughout the cloud, while white and blue stars fill the rest of the image.
