C51 Image Comparison
This context image shows two regions of Caldwell 51 (IC 1613) imaged by Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). The wider-field image of the whole galaxy in the bottom right was taken by the Very Large Telescope’s survey telescope at the European Southern Observatory (ESO). The orange box shows the location of Hubble’s infrared observations in the galaxy’s outskirts (shown at left), while the blue box shows its observations of the galaxy’s center (top right).
