The central region of NGC 1705 is dominated by a gigantic unresolved stellar cluster.
We chose to observe NGC 253, which at a distance of 10 million light years is the nearest starburst spiral galaxy.
In other planetary nebulae, like the Ring Nebula (NGC 6720 ), we view the donut from the top.
The beautiful galaxy NGC 3982 is a typical spiral galaxy and looks similar to our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
The above image pair shows the core of NGC 1705 in both optical as well as near-infrared wavelengths taken with Hubble.
