Hubble Reveals Insights on Galaxies and Star Formation

The twin galaxies NGC 4496A and NGC 4496B in the constellation Virgo, although appearing close from Earth, are not interacting due to differing distances. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured images of NGC 2566, a 'cosmic eye' spiral galaxy located 76 million light-years away in the constellation Puppis, aiding in the study of star formation. The Hubble data is crucial for understanding young stars, as it uses ultraviolet and visible wavelengths, and is complemented by data from the James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA, which further analyze star-forming regions. These findings underscore the profound capabilities of both Hubble and Webb in exploring the mysteries of the universe.
