This NASA Hubble Space Telescope took this image of the nearby barred spiral galaxy NGC 1672 -- more than 60 million light years away -- using its Advanced Camera for Surveys in August 2005. The image shows details of the galaxy’s star-forming clouds and dark bands of interstellar dust. NASA released the image today.
