Hubble Spiral Galaxy NGC 4731
NASA / ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured a sparkling image of sweeping spiral galaxy NGC 4731, located 43 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. The various colors depict NGC 4731’s billowing clouds of gas, dark dust bands, bright pink star-forming regions and, a massive glowing bar with trailing arms.


Hubble Spiral Galaxy NGC 4731
We can see that the spiral arms of NGC 4731 stretch out far beyond the confines of this close-in Hubble view, and thought to result from gravitational interactions with other, nearby galaxies in the Virgo cluster. These arms are surrounded by bright patches of light where stars are forming, as well as dark lines of dust.
