NASA. LARGE FORMAT. DEEP SPACE. HUBBLE. Hydrogen plumes at the heart of a star-forming galaxy. 2006. Spectacularly beautiful, this photograph from the Hubble Space Telescope reveals immense plumes of hydrogen rising from the core of one of the most active galaxies in the Universe. The subtle contrasts, luminous swirls, and exceptional depth of the composition create an image of rare aesthetic power. At the heart of this galaxy, stars are forming at a rate nearly ten times faster than in our Milky Way, making this region a veritable cosmic laboratory. Both a photographic masterpiece and a testament to the extraordinary creativity of the universe, this image ranks among the most fascinating ever captured by Hubble. Vintage chromogenic print. Numbered on the front. Caption on a label on the back. 40.6 x 50.8 cm with margins.
