About this wallpaper
The Stephan's Quintet image released by ESA/Hubble in 2009 (heic0910i), cropped to 9:16 around the group. In this group of galaxies in the direction of Pegasus, several yellow and blue-white galaxies overlap from the center upward, with arms twisted by tidal forces; around them is black space with few stars, and more than half of the pixels are pure black.

On the home screen
The lower half is black space, so icons there keep labels readable and leave the galaxies above visible.
On the lock screen
Part of a galaxy reaches the top, but it stays dark, so a white clock reads well.
Colors and mood
Black, with the yellow and blue-white of the galaxies and red points along the arms.
