In this @NASAHubble image,
galaxy UGCA 193 appears to host many young stars,
especially in the lower portion of this view,
creating a striking blue haze and the sense that the stars are falling from “above.”⁣
⁣
The blue color of UGCA 193 indicates the stars that we see are hot —
some more than six times hotter than our Sun.
Cooler stars appear to our eyes as redder,
and hotter stars appear bluer.
A star’s surface temperature and color are also linked to its mass,
with heavier stars “burning”
at higher temperatures,
resulting in a blue glow from their surfaces.⁣
