The HST can resolve individual stars in other galaxies, making it invaluable for identifying a rare class of pulsating stars, called Cepheid Variable stars, embedded within M100's spiral arms. |
| This superb HST image reveals a pair of one-half light-year long interstellar "twisters" - eerie funnels and twisted-rope structures - in the heart of the Lagoon Nebula which lies 5,000 light-years away in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. | (47
