Astronomers capture most detailed thousand-color image of the Sculptor galaxy

Astronomers have created a galactic masterpiece: an ultra-detailed image that reveals previously unseen features in the Sculptor galaxy. Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT), they observed this nearby galaxy in thousands of colors simultaneously. By capturing vast amounts of data at every single location, they created a galaxy-wide snapshot of the lives of stars within Sculptor.
