wavelengths to which Hubble is sensitive,&#8221; the space agency stated. &#8220;Using these data, researchers can measure the ages of NGC 2566\u2019s stars, which helps piece together the timeline of the galaxy\u2019s star formation and the exchange of gas between star-forming clouds and the stars themselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\"><a
