TheHiddenGalaxy is coming into view.
The Hubble Space Telescope image shows a spiral galaxy. NASA says that scientists have had some difficulty observing it due to obstacles in the way, and that it's been dubbed "hidden".
It appears near the equator of the Milky Way, which is crowded with thick Cosmic gas, dark dust, and glowing stars that all obscure our view, according to a May 11 statement from NASA.
The Hubble Space Telescope has the best images of all time.
Hubble can look through the debris, but it does have an ability to see through it. The light from the sun is less scattered by dust and can give a better view of the universe.
This sparkling, face-on view of the center of the galaxy displays intertwined tendrils of dust in spectacular arms that wrap around a brilliant core of hot gas and stars, according to NASA.
The H II nucleus is an area of atomic hydrogen that has become ionized. Thousands of stars can form over a million years in such regions.
The hydrogen surrounding the birthplaces of the blue stars is ionized by the stars. If there wasn't so much dust in the way, the galaxy would be one of the best in the sky.
11 million light-years from Earth is how close IC is. It is roughly half the diameter of our own Milky Way, making it large.
Hubble has been in space for a long time. You can see the images of IC 342 and 2010 in the new tab.
