The smudge of stars at the centre of this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image is a galaxy known as UGC 5797. UGC 5797 is an emission line galaxy, meaning that it is currently undergoing active star formation. The result is a stellar population that is constantly being refurbished as massive bright blue stars form. Galaxies with prolific star formation are not only veiled in a blue tint, but are key to the continuation of a stellar cycle.

A lovely spheroidal dwarf galaxy. Visually, the younger, bluer stars appear near the center, while an older, redder population appears on the outskirts. Interesting. I think this is typical for these spheroidal dwarfs, but I haven't taken much notice to it.
I tried to include as much as I could on the right, but unfortunately the nice data is cut off right about there. The galaxy continues more or less symmetrically to the right. Note the IR data did not cover the entire image, so the parts in the upper left and lower left that look kind of yellow and lack red are where that ended.
Apparently I already processed this one a while back but I forgot. Well it looks way better with Meredith's data, that's for sure.
This was put together using some custom drizzled data made by Meredith Durbin, attribution as follows:
NASA/ESA/Meredith Durbin/Judy Schmidt
That data came from these proposals:
A Calibration Database for Stellar Models of Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars
Red: WFC3/IR F110W+WFC3/IR F160W
Green: ACS/WFC F606W
Blue: ACS/WFC F475W

NGC 918 (UGC 1888, PGC 9236 and others) is an AGN galaxy located approximately 53 million light-years away in Aries. Our view is impacted by MBM 8, a cloud of IFN illuminated by our galaxy, approximately 650 light-years away. Several denser areas can also be found in the Planck Galactic Cold Clump (PGCC) catalog.

Observed with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, the faint galaxy featured in this image is known as UGC 12588. Unlike many spiral galaxies, UGC 12588 displays neither a bar of stars across its centre nor the classic prominent spiral arm pattern. Instead, to a viewer, its circular, white and mostly unstructured centre makes this galaxy more reminiscent of a cinnamon bun than a mega-structure of stars and gas in space.
Lying in the constellation of Andromeda in the Northern hemisphere, this galaxy is classified as a spiral galaxy. Unlike the classic image of a spiral galaxy, however, the huge arms of stars and gas in UGC 12588 are very faint, undistinguished, and tightly wound around its centre. The clearest view of the spiral arms comes from the bluer stars sprinkled around the edges of the galaxy that highlight the regions where new star formation is most likely taking place.

Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of the galaxy UGC 3885. The bright star "over" the galaxy belongs to the Milky Way Galaxy and isn't associated with UGC 3885.
Original caption: A bright foreground star isn’t enough to distract from the grandeur of the galaxy UGC 3885, captured here by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. While this foreground star is incredibly bright to Hubble’s eye, it does not outshine the details of the background galaxy. Many young blue stars are sprinkled throughout the circular patterns of UGC 3885’s arms, contrasted and complemented by dark lanes of dust also following the spiral structure. A glancing look at UGC 3885 may only leave you with an impression of the galaxy, but spare a moment longer and the intricacies of the galaxy begin to emerge. Located in the constellation of Lynx , UGC 3885 is a cosmic beauty to behold.
