Utilising data from NASA's decommissioned Spitzer Space Telescope, this image of the Andromeda galaxy displays a variety of wavelengths, highlighting star formation regions (red), dust (cyan), and stars (blue).
In the constellation Canis Major, or ‘The Greater Dog,’ NGC 2217 (also called AM 0619-271) has a magnificent central bar that shines brightly.
This image of the star-forming region NGC 604 taken with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) demonstrates how the stellar winds of hot, young, bright stars sculpt gaps in the surrounding gas and dust.
The galaxy LEDA 42160, located in the constellation Virgo and roughly 52 million light-years from Earth, is visible in this Hubble Space Telescope image.
The dwarf galaxy IC 3476, located in the constellation Coma Berenices and approximately 54 million light-years away from Earth, is depicted in this Hubble Space Telescope image.
The Chandra deep dataset of the remnants of the supernova known as 30 Doradus B (30 Dor B) shows evidence of multiple supernova explosions during the remnant's history.
The young stars visible in the composite image, which is animated, are the blue and white lights. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory detected these stars' X-ray emissions. The image depicts the Christmas Tree Cluster.
