Galaxy blooming in space: Breathtaking image from Hubble!

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning new image of spiral galaxy NGC 2835, located 35 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Hydra.

In the image, the galaxy's spiral arms, filled with young blue stars, are clearly visible as they rotate around an elliptical center dominated by older stars.

This particular image stands out from previous Hubble and James Webb Space Telescope images because it includes new data in the H-alpha wavelength, a type of red light that reveals particularly interesting phenomena.

In the arms of NGC 2835, H-alpha emissions form dozens of pink nebulae resembling blooming flowers.

Hubble aims to record more than 50,000 nebulae by observing 19 nearby galaxies as part of a comprehensive survey.

Thanks to this data, scientists will be able to better understand how stars affect their natal environments through their intense radiation and stellar winds.
