A label pointing to outer, left of galaxy reads "Earth." Faint, purple haze labeled "Milky Way Halo" surrounds galaxy and stretches to graphic's edges. The tadpole-shaped object is the Large Magellanic Cloud, or LMC, with its own halo and streaming tail. Semi-circular, progressively darker layers of purple labeled "LMC Halo" surround the LMC, which appears roughly circular, with a central, light yellow bar. Cloud-like features sprinkled with white specks surround this bar. Trailing the LMC is a large, tail-like feature labeled "Stream." At the bottom left corner of graphic are several small, bright points of light labeled "Quasars." Three light blue lines point from the label "Earth" through the LMC's halo, and to three corresponding quasars. At the bottom, right corner is the label "Artist's Concept."" class="noscript-img embedded-img__component" src="//stsci-opo.org/STScI-01JBHC10PAVETQ8JE3YTN93GX9.jpg" /></noscript></div> </div> </div></li> <li> <div class="news-listing card" data-module-dynamic="card"> <div class="row"> <div class="text col-sm-8 "> <h4 id="press-release-fcbfc944-146d-44d6-a992-0c4f15281e5e" aria-describedby="card-read-more-fcbfc944-146d-44d6-a992-0c4f15281e5e"> <a class="card-link" href="/contents/news-releases/2024/news-2024-030"> NASA's Hubble, Webb Probe Surprisingly Smooth Disk Around Vega</a> </h4> <div class="news-release-information"><span class="news-release-date">November 01, 2024</span><span class="news-release-id">Release ID: 2024-030</span> </div> <p> Legendary Star Lacks Evidence for Large Planet Construction</p><span id="card-read-more-fcbfc944-146d-44d6-a992-0c4f15281e5e" data-href="/contents/news-releases/2024/news-2024-030" class="arrow-link" aria-hidden="true">Read the release</span> </div> <div class="img col-sm-4"> <picture ><img alt="A two-panel image split down the middle vertically.
