Hoag’s Object is a rare ring galaxy located over 600 million light-years from Earth.
A nearly perfect circle full of young blue stars surrounds a spheroid of mostly older red giant stars. In between is a gap that appears almost completely empty.
Delightfully distinctive.

My brother and one of my best friends got squamous cell cancer in the throat and mouth due to HPV. If they had received the HPV vaccine as young men (then unavailable), most likely they would never have gotten cancer.

I do astronomy for a living, and images like this *still* take my breath away. What a beautiful universe we live in. Even in the midst of trouble, grief, & anything you might be struggling with (like we all are) - try to seek out the beauty. It helps ❤️
