The image displays the region G35.2-0.7N in the constellation Aquila, which is located about 7,200 light-years away from Earth. It is well known that high-mass star formation is occurring in G35.2-0.7N.
This picture shows JW39, a jellyfish galaxy that Hubble has been studying for the past two years. It hangs peacefully. It is situated more than 900 million light-years away in the Coma Berenices constellation.
The Arp-Madore 2339-661 galaxy system is an interactive system. A sample of unusual galaxies can be found in the Arp-Madore catalogue; the peculiarity of this group may be even more bizarre than it first appears, since it involves interactions between three galaxies, not just two.
The Hubble Space Telescope can see the globular star cluster NGC 2419. Globular clusters are simultaneously fascinating and beautiful. These are circular star clusters encircling the centre of a galaxy; in the case of NGC 2419, that galaxy is the Milky Way.
The multi-star system known as FS Tau is made up of two objects: FS Tau A, the bright star-like object near the centre of the image, and FS Tau B (Haro 6-5B), the bright object to the far right obscured by a dark, vertical lane of dust.
Included in it is the star-forming area known as IRAS 16562-3959, which is situated in the Milky Way's Scorpius constellation and is 5,900 light-years away from Earth.
Situated in the Virgo constellation, the dwarf galaxy is roughly 7 million light-years from Earth. The galaxy in question is categorised as "irregular" since it does not have an elliptical or orderly spiral shape.
BD+17 2217, the brilliant star. It is believed by astronomers that Arp 263, also known as NGC 3239, is a ragged-looking galaxy that was formed when two galaxies merged. It is a patchy, irregular galaxy studded with regions of recent star formation.
Located approximately 600 million light-years away, the galaxy can be found in the constellation Sextans. Hubble made the observation of JO204 as part of an effort to gather more information about star formation in challenging environments.
NGC 5486 is an irregular spiral galaxy with pink slivers of star formation woven throughout its tenuous disc, which contrasts with the diffuse glow of the galaxy's bright core. The galaxy is suspended over a pitch-black background.
