Spiral galaxy M74
November 29, 2007 - Spiral galaxy M74. Bright knots of glowing gas light up the spiral arms, indicating a rich environment of star formation. Messier 74, also called NGC 628, is a stunning example of a grand-design spiral galaxy that is viewed by Earth observers nearly face-on. Its perfectly symmetrical spiral arms emanate from the central nucleus and are dotted with clusters of young blue stars and glowing pink regions of ionized hydrogen (hydrogen atoms that have lost their electrons). These regions of star formation show an excess of light at ultraviolet wavelengths. Tracing along the spiral arms are winding dust lanes that also begin very near the galaxys nucleus and follow along the length of the spiral arms. M74 is located roughly 32 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Pisces

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Spiral galaxy M74, taken on November 29,2007. The image reveals the intricate details of this celestial wonder, with its bright knots of glowing gas illuminating the spiral arms in a stunning display of star formation. Known as Messier 74 or NGC 628, this grand-design spiral galaxy is observed nearly face-on from Earth, allowing us to appreciate its perfect symmetry. The nucleus at the center emanates perfectly symmetrical spiral arms that are adorned with clusters of young blue stars and pink regions of ionized hydrogen. These regions indicate areas where new stars are being born and emit an excess of ultraviolet light. Tracing along these beautiful spirals are winding dust lanes that begin near the galactic nucleus and extend throughout the length of the arms. Located approximately 32 million light-years away in the constellation Pisces, M74 offers a breathtaking view into our vast universe. Its luminous presence shines brightly against a backdrop filled with cosmic dust and interstellar medium. This square color image captures every detail with precision and allows viewers to immerse themselves in the wonders beyond our world. With no people present in this photograph, it serves as a reminder that we are but small observers gazing upon something truly magnificent – a single object among countless others within our expansive universe.
