Look into the eye πŸŒ€β€‰   NASAHubble captures a fierce ring of stars in a spiral galaxy located 50 million light-years from Earth. The bright blue ring visible in this image hosts blazing young stars.    Can you spot two other space objects in this image? The bright point ringed with a crisscross pattern is a star from our own galaxy surrounded by diffraction spikes, while the redder elongated smudge nearby is a distant galaxy lying far beyond the one pictured here.    The data used in this image is from hundreds of observations between Hubble and the ALMA array in the Atacama Desert. The combination of observations helps astronomers chart the connections between vast clouds of cold gas and the fiercely hot, young stars that form within them.    Image description: A vast, face-on spiral galaxy that holds an inner ring of bright blue, young stars. Stars dot the distance in shades of blue and red.    Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, J. Lee and the PHANGS-HST Team    #NASA #Space #Hubble #...
