Hubble Spots Billowing Bubbles of Stellar Floss
A bubbling region of stars both old and new lies some 160,000 light-years away in the constellation Dorado.
![An oblong smudge of stars stretches diagonally across the image from upper-left to lower-right. It holds stars in blue, orange, yellow, and white. The highest concentration of stars is near the image center and toward the lower-right. This region also holds bright, light-blue clumps of stars. Star densities taper off in all directions as you move away from the core. A number of bright, distant galaxies dot the scene, with a few shining through UGC 4879.](https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/vv124-acs-1-flat-final.jpg?w=4096&format=jpeg)
