This image shows a detailed, thousand-colour image of the Sculptor Galaxy captured with the MUSE instrument at ESO\u2019s Very Large Telescope (VLT). Regions of pink light are spread throughout this whole galactic snapshot, which come from ionised hydrogen in star-forming regions. These areas have been overlaid on a map of already formed stars in Sculptor to create the mix of pinks and blues seen here – Credit:
