10 incredible images of space captured by NASA

Webb Catches A Cosmic Tarantula

The mighty blue giant AG Carinae is one of the brightest stars in our Milky Way galaxy

A brilliant tapestry of young stars flaring to life resembles a glittering fireworks display in this Hubble Space Telescope image

NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) detected the blue areas (20 microns) near the center of this composite image of the Swan Nebula, revealing gas as it’s heated by massive stars located at the center

This image shows narrow, spindle-like structures, called filaments, that act like rivers channeling material into the Serpens South star cluster, a group of more than 60 young stars that is forming in a dense cloud of gas and dust nearly 1,400 lightyears away

The ring-shaped clouds around the nebula RCW 120 were detected by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope in this composite image

The star-forming nebula W51 is one of the largest "star factories" in the Milky Way galaxy

The mystery of how Cassiopeia A exploded is unraveling thanks to new data from NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR

NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) detected the magnetic field streamlines shown over this image of the Keyhole Nebula

Astronomers combined several Hubble Space Telescope images to create this view of the Pillars of Creation, which are about 5 light-years tall
