Pan on Spiral Galaxy NGC 3344 | Hubble

This video pans over NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope observations of the spiral galaxy NGC 3344 that lies about 20 million light-years away. The galaxy is seen face-on, allowing us to see its spiral arms and the bright core. Because of the many filters used to create this image—ranging from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared—the bright young stars glowing blue and the red regions of dense gas and dust are visible.
