Brightly lit spiral arms swing outward through the galaxy\u2019s disk, starting from an elliptical region in its center. Thick strands of dark reddish dust spread across the disk, primarily along the spiral arms. The arms also contain many glowing, pink-red spots where stars form and clumps of bright-blue star clusters.

With a mirror spanning nearly eight feet (2.4 meters) across and its location above Earth\u2019s light-obscuring atmosphere, Hubble can easily observe dim galaxies like NGC 4535 and pick out features like its massive spiral arms and central bar of stars.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/100blogs.ovh\/36\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/hubble-seeks-clusters-in-lost-galaxy-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-1007\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><p>This image features NGC 4535\u2019s young star clusters, which dot the galaxy\u2019s spiral arms. Glowing-pink clouds surround many of these bright-blue star groupings. These clouds, called H II (\u2018H-two\u2019) regions, are a sign that the galaxy is home to especially young, hot, and massive stars that blaze with high-energy radiation. Such massive stars shake up their surroundings by heating their birth clouds with powerful stellar winds, eventually exploding as supernovae.<\/p>\n<p>The image incorporates data from an observing program designed to catalog roughly 50,000 H II regions in nearby star-forming galaxies like NGC 4535. Hubble released a previous image of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/missions\/hubble\/hubble-takes-portrait-of-the-a-lost-galaxy\/\" rel=\"noopener\">NGC 4535 in 2021<\/a>. Both the 2021 image and this new image incorporate observations from the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/phangs.stsci.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PHANGS observing program<\/a>, which seeks to understand the connections between young stars and cold gas. Today\u2019s image adds a new dimension to our understanding of NGC 4535 by capturing the brilliant red glow of the nebulae that encircle massive stars in their first few million years of life.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image credit: ESA\/Hubble &amp; NASA, F.
