The Hubble Ultra Deep Field image from 2004 reveals thousands of distant galaxies in a seemingly empty region of space, capturing light from billions of years ago. It offers the deepest view into the early universe.
The Crab Nebula, first seen by Chinese astronomers in 1054, is a 6 light-year-wide supernova remnant located 6,500 light-years from Earth and is visible with a small telescope.
NASA released an image of the Westerlund 2 cluster on the Hubble Space Telescope's 25th anniversary, combining visual spectrum and near-infrared star photos.
The Bubble Nebula, named for its distinct shape, is a stunning stellar object centered around an O-type star 45 times more massive than the sun. The star's powerful solar winds create the bubble of gas that defines the nebula.
The Sombrero Galaxy is a visually striking spiral galaxy, tilted just 6 degrees from Earth's perspective, giving it the appearance of a wide-brimmed hat, like a sombrero.
This image depicts the violent death of a star, resembling a colorful butterfly but showcasing gas at 20,000°C ejected at 950,000 km/h. The star's explosion emits ultraviolet radiation, causing it to glow.
This image reveals hundreds of thousands of stars in globular clusters on the Milky Way's outskirts, shining for billions of years. With over 150 such clusters, their origins remain poorly understood.
Thousands of sparkling young stars are nestled within the giant nebula NGC 3603, a stellar "jewel box" and one of the most massive young star clusters in the Milky Way Galaxy.
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image showcases Trumpler 14, one of the Milky Way's largest clusters of hot, massive, and bright stars. It contains some of the galaxy's most luminous stars.
