Another Quick Galaxy Hit

NGC 2283. Just because:

Image Description: A spiral galaxy seen close up and almost face on. It is filled with puffy, patchy clouds of hot gas and dust. Red, orange and yellow colors indicate light emitted by different particles. The brightest colors are in the center and along the two spiral arms, which wind out from the center. Star clusters hide in the gas along the arms. A few large, bright white stars are prominent in the foreground, near to us.
