Two fantastic new galaxy pictures by Adam Block!

NGC 7753 and UGC 3697, The Integral Sign Galaxy!

Note, by the way, all the pale nebulosity in the NGC 7753 image. That nebulosity is almost certainly the integrated flux nebulae.

Located in the constellation of Orion (the Hunter), the image show a portion of one of Orion’s giant molecular clouds (known as “Orion A”) where new stars are forming.
