Good morning RP. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "M83: The Thousand-Ruby Galaxy." Messier 83 (M83) lies twelve million light-years away, near the southeastern tip of the constellation Hydra. Reddish star forming regions that dot the sweeping arms highlighted in this sparkling color composite photograph give the galaxy its nickname: The Thousand-Ruby Galaxy. It is also known by its more popular name: The Southern Pinwheel. Image data was taken from the Subaru Telescope, the European Southern Observatory's Wide Field Imager camera, and the Hubble Legacy Archive.
