The Star Clusters of NGC 1313 (3.04)

This is a picture of the spiral galaxy NGC 1313 taken from the Hubble. The Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys was used to capture this composite image. The Hubble can reveal pictures of objects as far away as 14 million light-years, but this is only 10,000. This picture allows astronomers to form hypotheses about the formation and death of star clusters in the Milky Way.
