NGC 3455 (2012)
I want to say that this is just another example of a pretty galaxy, but Hubble never takes pictures of galaxies simply because they’re pretty. I usually look up the proposals for the images I process in order to remind myself that I’m not actually that smart because I never have an easy time figuring out why an image was made even with the explanation right in front of me.

Hubble data is public domain, but I put a lot of work into combining it into beautiful color images. The minimal credit line should read: NASA / ESA / J. Schmidt
