A sprinkle of cosmic glitter! This blue compact dwarf galaxy is filled with diffuse gas and peppered with star-forming regions towards its core. This Hubble Space Telescope image captures it undergoing a particularly dramatic burst of star formation, visible as the lighter blue cloudy region towards the top right of the galaxy. This clump is filled with very young and hot newborn stars. Details: http://go.nasa.gov/1v8Dja3
