A spectacular image from the Hubble Space Telescope’s newly-installed Wide Field Camera 3, showing a birthplace of stars in the nearby galaxy M83: Hubble Image Showcases Star Birth in M83, the Southern Pinwheel.

(Hat tip: Phil Plait, who has interesting commentary on how this image was generated, and what you’re seeing.)
