Description

Two large elliptical galaxies and one large spiral in Leo. Several smaller galaxies can be seen in the background.

The image nicely shows the contrast between the older, yellower stars in the elliptical galaxies, and the hotter, younger, bluer stars in the spirals, driven by recent star formation in the spiral arms.
