NASA recently shared an image of galaxy NGC 4449 experiencing a "starburst" which is a very intense period of star formation. This was likely caused by NGC 4449 interacting or merging with a smaller galaxy. NGC 4449 is located about 12.5 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. The image shows a bright, yellow-white region of light surrounded by pale blue stars and pink regions of star birth. Dark dust interlaces the view, against black space dotted with distant stars and galaxies. 'Merging Galaxies': NASA's Hubble Telescope Shares Captivating Image of Two Merging Galaxies Located 350 Million Light Years From Earth (See Pic).
