This image was captured by using Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 to observe a specific light wavelength known as H-alpha, according to a statement from ESA. By looking at this wavelength, astronomers hoped to detect areas where young, energetic stars light up the gas clouds around them with ultraviolet light.
Hubble last peered out at NGC 1705 in 1999 when astronomers used the telescope's camera to observe the galaxy's center. These new observations, which use much newer technology on Hubble, can provide more detail and a more complete look at the galaxy.
