Hubble Fingerprints a Galaxy
The galaxy NGC 4689 appears like a smudged fingerprint on the sky. No matter how good the image quality, there is little contrast between the spiraling arms of stars, gas and dust, and the less dense areas in between. This is because NGC 4689 contains only quite small quantities of the raw materials needed to produce stars.
