    When it comes to galaxies, diversity is everywhere

    NGC 253
    30 September 2008

    A survey using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has observed around 14 million stars in 69 galaxies in our cosmic backyard. Some galaxies were found to be full of ancient stars, while others are like sun-making factories.

    For more information, see ESA's SciTech pages.
