This downloadable cross stitch galaxy design, Hoag's Object, was developed from an image taken by NASA's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 on July 9, 2001. This image reveals more detail than any existing photo taken of this object.
Hoag's Object is a nearly perfect ring of hot, blue-star pinwheels around the yellow nucleus of an unusual galaxy that is 600 light-years away in the Serpens constellation. Some astronomers estimate this to be 2 to 3 billion years old. This unusual galaxy was discovered by astronomer Art Hoag in 1950, and was named Hoag's Object. The Hoag's galaxy is approximately 120,000 light-years wide and slightly larger than our Milky Way Galaxy. Many of the details of Hoag's galaxy remain a mystery.
