A Hubble Space Telescope image of a face-on spiral galaxy centered against a black background dotted with distant stars and galaxies. The galaxy has a bright warm golden-orange core that fades outward through sweeping spiral arms filled with blue-white star-forming regions, brown dust lanes, and bright stellar clusters. The arms appear slightly asymmetrical. Several smaller background galaxies are visible scattered around the edges of the frame.
This is NGC 2276 -- a beautiful spiral galaxy located in the #constellation #Cepheus
