This Hubble Space Telescope optical image shows the afterglow and host galaxy of the HETE short burst of July 9, 2005. The bright, point-like afterglow is located to the left (yellow circle), on the outskirts of its extended, irregularly-shaped host galaxy. The host galaxy is of a similar age to the Milky Way, but about one-tenth the size. Both the burst and its host galaxy are located 2 billion light years from Earth. The colors indicate the intensity of light as seen by the Advanced Camera for Surveys instrument on Hubble.
