A digital illustration depicting two light gray, spiky cell-like structures with blue dots scattered on their surface. The cells are positioned on a dark background with numerous small, white dots, resembling stars. In the center of the image, a blurry, ribbon-like streak of orange and purple hues creates an aurora-like effect. This image likely represents a microscopic view of cells in a stylized, artistic manner.
