Pan on Galaxies NGC 4298 & NGC 4302 | Hubble
This video pans over NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope observations of the two galaxies known as NGC 4298 and NGC 4302. Distance: 55 million light-years away
Galaxy NGC 4298 is seen almost face-on, allowing us to see its spiral arms and the blue patches of ongoing star formation and young stars. In the edge-on disc of NGC 4302 huge swathes of dust are responsible for the mottled brown patterns, but a burst of blue to the side of the galaxy is indicating a region of extremely vigorous star formation.
