This giant cluster of stars is about 2 million years old and spans between 6 to 13 light years. It comprises one of the most massive, brightest, and hottest stars of our galaxy.
This spiral galaxy exists around 17 million light years away. It is often called the “Black Eye” or “Evil Eye" galaxy because of the dark dust on one side of its bright nucleus.
This image of Butterfly Nebula or Caldwell 69 was taken in 2019 and 2020 by Hubble. This nebula is well known for its beautiful shape like the wings of a butterfly.
This photograph of 30 Doradus captures two clusters of massive stars in the early stages of merging. It is commonly known as the Tarantula Nebula and is about 170,000 light-years away.
This distinctive galaxy is called a barred spiral due to its shape, which is most likely a result of gravitational pull from a nearby galaxy disrupting the orbits of many of its stars.
Located in the Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, this cluster is about 160,000 light-years away. It is about 100 million years old and is held together by the mutual gravitational pull of the stars.
This mosaic blend of Helix Nebula shows the bright red and blue ring of gas. It is the closest planetary nebulae to Earth and is about 650 light-years away.
This cluster of massive, hot stars looks similar to glittery fireworks. It is surrounded by interstellar gas and dust, laying the foundation for new star formations.
Captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, this image shows the brightest supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.
This image reminds us of the striking painting "Starry Night" by Van Gogh. This spiral of dust contains a bright red star in the middle and is located about 20,000 light-years away from Earth.
