Resembling a bracelet of jewels, a ring of star clusters wraps around the nucleus of what was once a normal spiral galaxy in this image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The sparkling blue ring is 150,000 light-years in diameter, making it larger than our entire home galaxy, the Milky Way. It is 300 million light-years away in the direction of the southern constellation Dorado.
