| 説明 | The Hubble Space Telescope captured a display of starlight, glowing gas, and silhouetted dark clouds of interstellar dust in this 4-foot-by-8-foot image of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1300. NGC 1300 is prototypical of barred spiral galaxies. Barred spirals differ from normal spiral galaxies in that the arms of the galaxy do not spiral all the way into the center, but are connected to the two ends of a straight bar of stars containing the nucleus at its center.At Hubble's resolution, a myriad of fine details, some of which have never before been seen, are visible throughout the galaxy's arms, disk, bulge, and nucleus. Blue and red supergiant stars, star clusters, and star-forming regions are well resolved across the spiral arms, and dust lanes trace out fine structures in the disk and bar. Numerous distant galaxies are visible in the background, even through the densest regions of NGC 1300.Credit: NASA, ESA, and The Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA); Acknowledgment: P.
