[Image Description: A cluster of stars in warm and cool colours. The whole view is filled with small stars, which become much denser and brighter around a core just right of centre. Most of the stars are small, but some are larger with a round, brightly-coloured glow and four sharp diffraction spikes. Behind the stars, a dark background can be seen.]

Btw, idk if it was on purpose but if you want people to be able to view the image directly in the app then you can just paste the direct link (https://cdn.spacetelescope.org/archives/images/screen/potw2325a.jpg) of the image to the URL section of the post.
