The Hubble Space Telescope, operated by NASA and ESA, has captured a stunning image of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 6000, situated around 102 million light-years away in the constellation Scorpius. This galaxy displays a striking yellow core, composed of older, cooler stars, contrasted by glittering blue spiral arms that host young, massive stars. The vivid colours reflect differences in stellar ages, masses, and temperatures, offering astronomers a detailed view of star formation and galactic evolution. Observing NGC 6000 helps scientists understand the life cycles of stars, the dynamics of barred spiral galaxies, and the processes shaping the universe over cosmic time. NGC 6000 showcases stars of all ages, making it a fascinating laboratory for studying stellar evolution. At its cen
