This cosmic portrait—captured with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3—shows a stunning view of the spiral galaxy NGC 4571, which lies approximately 60 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Coma Berenices. This constellation—whose name translates as Bernice's Hair—was named after an Egyptian queen who lived more than 2,200 years ago.
