Hubble Space Telescope Peers into Post-Starburst Galaxy
This Hubble image reveals the lenticular galaxy NGC 1266; reddish-brown clumps and filaments of dust partially obscure the galaxy’s full face, while red, blue, and orange light from distant galaxies shines through its diffuse outer regions and dots the inky-black background.
