SINGS
Hubble Tuning Fork Poster
The
"lifestyles" of 75 neighboring galaxies are illuminated in this
poster from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. In this composite, blue colors
reveal light from an older population of stars. Tints of green represent
organic molecules called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, while red lumps
show clouds of warm dust and gas heated by radiation from newborn stars.
The galaxies are organized by shape, according to the Hubble-Tuning Fork.
The poster contains a full description of the galaxies

fading.
