Take a deep breath. ✨⁣ ⁣ In this NASAHubble image, galaxy UGCA 193 appears to host many young stars, especially in the lower portion of this view, creating a striking blue haze and the sense that the stars are falling from “above.”⁣ ⁣ The blue color of UGCA 193 indicates the stars that we see are hot — some more than six times hotter than our Sun. Cooler stars appear to our eyes as redder, and hotter stars appear bluer. A star’s surface temperature and color are also linked to its mass, with heavier stars “burning” at higher temperatures, resulting in a blue glow from their surfaces.⁣ ⁣ Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, R.
