Description
Luminous galaxies glow like fireflies on a dark night in this image snapped by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The central galaxy in this image is a gigantic elliptical galaxy designated 4C 73.08. A prominent spiral galaxy seen from 'above' shines in the lower part of the image, while examples of galaxies viewed edge-on also populate the cosmic landscape. The image was taken using Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 through two filters one which captures green light, and one which captures red and near-infrared light.
