A spiral
galaxy glows with ultraviolet, green, and deep red light in this first-ever
"binocular" light image taken by a telescope.
The
ultraviolet and green lights emphasize the clumpy regions of newly birthed
stars in the spiral arms, while the deep red shows the smoother distribution of
older, cooler stars. The galaxy is 102 million light years from our Milky Way, appearing as
a flat disk of stars that tips slightly towards our line of sight.
