A recent image from the Hubble Space Telescope captures a gorgeous galaxy bursting with new star formation.

This intermediate spiral galaxy is located about 50 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. Known as NGC 4536, the galaxy boasts sweeping spiral arms speckled with bright blue clusters of baby stars and vibrant pink clumps of ionized hydrogen gas. It is classified as an intermediate galaxy because it has a prominent central structure but falls between a barred spiral galaxy and an unbarred spiral galaxy.
