Bread in galaxies --NGC 4298--

 This video is  projected on --NASA / ESA-- Hubble Space Telescope observations of the two  galaxies known as --NGC 4298-- and --NGC 4302--. Observations were made to  celebrate the 27th anniversary of Hubble. Galaxy  --NGC 4298-- looks almost face-to-face, allowing us to see its spiral arms  and blue star formation patches in progress and young stars. On  the edge disk of --NGC 4302-- huge stripes of dust are responsible for  mottled brown patterns, but a blast of blue next to the galaxy is  indicating an extremely vigorous star-forming region.
