A bright star in the foreground is not enough to distract from the grandeur of the galaxy UGC 3885, captured here by the NASA/THIS The Hubble Space Telescope. While this foreground star is incredibly bright to Hubble’s eyes, it doesn’t eclipse the details of the background galaxy.

Numerous young blue stars are sprinkled on the circular patterns of the arms of the UGC 3885, contrasted and complemented by dark paths of dust also following the spiral structure. A glance at the UGC 3885 can only leave you with an impression of the galaxy, but spare one more moment and the intricacies of the galaxy begin to emerge. Located in the constellation Lynx, UGC 3885 is a cosmic beauty to behold.
