Click through for the opportunity to find out what the Hubble space telescope saw on your birthday. :-)
Mine was boring, alas. This one is from my Aunt Jane's birthday.
Galaxy NGC 1512
The core of the barred
spiral galaxy NGC 1512 is unique for its stunning 2,400-light-year-wide
circle of infant star clusters, called a "circumnuclear" starburst ring.
Starbursts are episodes of vigorous star formation.
