Small Stellar Galaxy in the Hunting Dog: On a clear evening in April of 1789, the renowned astronomer William Herschel continued his unrelenting survey of the night sky, hunting for new cosmic objects - and found cause to celebrate! He spotted this bright spiral galaxy lurking in the constellation of Canes Venatici or The Hunting Dog. It lies roughly 22 million light-years from Earth. Over two centuries later, the Hubble Space Telescope is able to "chase down" and view the same galaxy in far greater detail than Herschel could, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies and characteristics of the galaxy as never before.
The blue smudges seen across the frame highlight regions of recent or ongoing star formation, with newborn stars glowing in bright, intense shades of cyan and turquoise.
