If you look closely at this image of NGC 2770, a spiral galaxy 102 million light years away, you can see the structure of the galaxy's hot, moderate and cool stars. The composite image includes ultraviolet and green light, to show the clumps of hot newly formed stars in the galaxy's spiral arms, and deep red colors, highlighting the smoother distribution of cool older stars.
