The perfect place to raise some baby stars 👶 🌟⁣ ⁣ The galaxy depicted in this NASAHubble image is a barred spiral in the constellation of Pisces.⁣ ⁣ A barred spiral is a galaxy with pinwheeling arms and a bright center that is intersected by a bar of gas and stars. This bar cuts directly through the galaxy’s central region and is thought to fuel star formation. As a result, spiral bars are theorized to be excellent stellar nurseries for new baby stars.⁣ ⁣ We think bars exist in up to two-thirds of all spiral galaxies, including our own home, the Milky Way.⁣ ⁣ Click the link in the bio for more info ⬆️⁣ ⁣ Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, A.
