Fashions fade, style is eternal⁣. ⁣ Forty million light-years from Earth, a galaxy starts to lose its shine as its gas and dust recede – without the star-making material, the galaxy will eventually fade.⁣ ⁣ Stars are formed when immense clouds of gas and dust collapse under their gravitational attraction; as the cloud collapses, a dense hot core forms and begins to gather more material, which can become planets, asteroids, comets, or remain dust.⁣ ⁣ The remnants of this spiral galaxy’s massive arms can be seen in this image taken by @NASAHubble. The galaxy lies in the constellation Dorado (the Dolphinfish) and can only be seen in the southern hemisphere.⁣ ⁣ Image description: Thousands of stars surround this image of a galaxy that has a bright core and concentric circles of brown dust emanating from its center.⁣ ⁣ Credit: @EuropeanSpaceAgency/Hubble & NASA, D.
