Stunning images of nebulae captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope

Located in the constellation Orion, the Flame Nebula is a sizable star-forming region approximately 1,400 light-years away from Earth.
This image was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3, which examined a young stellar object located in the constellation Taurus, over 9,000 light-years away. The object is surrounded by a shroud of thick gas and dust.
The complex nebula known as N44 is home to numerous populations of stars of varying ages, massive stars, glowing hydrogen gas, and dark dust lanes.
A unique class of star-forming nurseries called Free-floating Evaporating Gaseous Globules, or frEGGs for short, is shown in this Hubble Space Telescope image.
One peculiar kind of planetary nebula is Abell 78. Stars that are between 0.8 and 8 times as massive as the Sun eventually collapse to form dense, hot white dwarf stars after depleting the nuclear fuel in their cores.
A region known as G35.2-0.7N, a hotbed of high-mass star formation, is visible in this amazing Hubble Space Telescope image.
Situated approximately 6,000 light years away from Earth in the constellation Scorpious is the Prawn Nebula, a massive stellar nursery.
