Detailed Near-Infrared View of the Whirlpool Galaxy's Dust Structure

This image showcases the intricate dust structure of the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) as seen in near-infrared light by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The swirling dust lanes are reflected in the red color, revealing the galaxy's skeletal framework. This view obscures most of the starlight to highlight the dense dust grains. Ideal for use in educational materials, astronomical studies, and artistic depictions of space phenomena.
