Hubble Pinpoints Young Stars in Spiral Galaxy

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy NGC 1317. The bright blue ring hosts hot, young stars.

A spiral galaxy seen face-on.

In this image, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope peers into the spiral galaxy NGC 1317 in the constellation Fornax, located more than 50 million light-years from Earth. Visible in this galaxy image is a bright blue ring that hosts hot, young stars. NGC 1317 is one of a pair, but its rowdy larger neighbor, NGC 1316, lies outside Hubble’s field of view. Despite the absence of its neighboring galaxy, this image finds NGC 1317 accompanied by two objects from very different parts of the universe. The bright point ringed with a crisscross pattern is a star from our own galaxy surrounded by diffraction spikes, whereas the redder elongated smudge is a distant galaxy lying far beyond NGC 1317.

Space Journey / Gaia

Risograph, inspired by the movement pattern of the space telescope ‘Gaia’ (ESA), which has been mapping our galaxy since it was launched in 2013. Among other things, the data collected has been used to create the most detailed map of the Milky Way to date. The telescope was decommissioned on 27 March 2025

The work was realized during an Artist-in-Science Residency of the artist at the European Space Agency (ESA) hosted by Kultur einer Digitalstadt in Darmstadt in 2022.

The print was produced by Herr und Frau Rio in Munich and is a limited, signed an numbered edition.

The print by the German artist Swaantje Güntzel shows a pattern which was inspired by the movement of the space telescope "Gaia" which was launched by the European Space Agency in 2013. Three lines which mirror each other, one in blue, one in orange and one in yellow follow the journey of the telescope in space. The line starts on the left side of the sheet, goes from left to right , stops after covering 2/3 of the sheet and then changes into a circle which is repeated. The couloured lines are printed on white paper as a risography.

"Our results show that if these [satellite] constellations are completed, one fourth of Hubble's images will be contaminated, while the space telescopes SPHEREx, ARRAKIHS, and Xuntian will have 94% of their exposures affected."

Just a follow up on the article from the BBC I posted earlier today. It contains a few small updates regarding current and imminent space missions, and our ongoing search for extraterrestrial life. “Dragonfly” sounds very interesting, as do the missions to Europa…

Very interesting, but don’t build your hopes up we’ll ever get there. The fastest thing we’ve currently built is the Parker Solar Probe, which travels around 430,000mph. To travel 700 trillion miles at the same speed, we’re talking around 186,000 years…
