Messier 74 galaxy shows billions of stars forming within its spiral arms. The clusters of blue young stars, and the pink areas indicate concentrations of ionized hydrogen. There are over ONE HUNDRED BILLION stars.
Isn't this amazing? Images from space always amazes me. It really shows how small we are in an infinitely vast Universe.
