Spiral Galaxy

This public domain photo is from GRIN, the Great Images In NASA Collection within the NASA image archive.

This extraordinary image from the Hubble Space Telescope captures a quintessential spiral galaxy in all its glory. The NASA website points out that the center of this galaxy contains a greater concentration of older stars producing red and yellow shades, while the outer tendrils cast a bluer hue with an abundance of younger stars and star-forming gases.

This lovely image would make an unparalleled wallpaper for the space exploration enthusiast. For the rest, it would work well as a space canvas, or an integration into other works.

This image was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope – NASA. NASA is an Agency of the United States government, therefore this image is in the public domain.
