C83 – ngc 4945 inset_2
Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) captured a detailed view of stars and dust clouds in the outer disk of Caldwell 83 (NGC 4945), as shown in the upper right. Supplementary visible and infrared observations from Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 as well as from the European Southern Observatory's Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) were used to fill a gap in the ACS image. A ground-based image from the European Southern Observatory (ESO), in the lower left, includes a box that shows the region of the galaxy observed by ACS.
