Like magnificent large spiral galaxies, small galaxies also form stars. In the image, the dwarf irregular galaxy "Ugc 2858" shows bright blue young star clusters and pink areas where stars are newly born. Dwarf irregular galaxies are low-mass galaxies that do not have a distinct shape, unlike spiral galaxies and elliptical galaxies. The bright yellow stars visible in the photo are stars from the Milky Way.
