Title:[1085] NGC 2276 in near real-color Caption:NGC 2276 in near real-color, taken by Bill Keel using Kitt Peak National Observatory's 2.1-Meter telescope and a video camera. The blue coloration is actually an emission line of ultraviolet radiation reflected by stars. The "edge" of the blue star-forming region may represent a collision with an unseen intergalactic cloud.
