NASA / ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured this striking image of spiral galaxy Messier 90 (M90) located 59 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo using its Wide Field Camera 3 instrument.
We can see that the inner regions of M90’s disc are major sites of star formation, highlighted here by red H-alpha light from nebulae. This galaxy sits among the galaxies of the relatively nearby Virgo Cluster, and the course of its orbit took it on a path near the cluster’s center approximately three hundred million years ago.

A spiral galaxy. It has a bright core with light spilling out, and its disc is filled with thick clumps of dark reddish dust, which swirls around the galaxy following its rotation. Parts of the disc are speckled with blue, showing brighter and hotter stars. A halo of faintly-lit gas wraps around the galaxy, extending beyond the edges of the image,” said the ESA.
