Semi-circular, progressively darker layers of purple labeled “LMC Halo” surround the LMC, which appears roughly circular, with a central, light-yellow bar.

A band of dark dust covers the disk in the center most of the way out to the ends, and the disk glows around that. In the center of the galaxy, a whitish circle of light bulges out above and below the disk. Each end of the disk curves slightly. The background is black and mostly empty.","This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a spiral galaxy, named UGC 10043. We don’t see the galaxy’s spiral arms because we are seeing it from the side. Located roughly 150 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Serpens, UGC 10043 is one of the somewhat rare spiral galaxies that we see edge-on. This edge-on viewpoint makes the galaxy’s disk appear as a sharp line through space, with its prominent dust lanes forming thick bands of clouds that obscure our view of the galaxy’s glow. If we could fly above the galaxy, viewing it from the top down, we would see this dust scattered across UGC 10043, possibly outlining its spiral arms. Despite the dust’s obscuring nature, some active star-forming regions shine out from behind the dark clouds. We can also see that the galaxy’s center sports a glowing, almost egg-shaped ‘bulge’, rising far above and below the disk. All spiral galaxies have a bulge similar to this one as part of their structure. These bulges hold stars that orbit the galactic center on paths above and below the whirling disk; it’s a feature that isn’t normally obvious in pictures of galaxies. The unusually large size of this bulge compared to the galaxy’s disk is possibly due to UGC 10043 siphoning material from a nearby dwarf galaxy. This may also be why its disk appears warped, bending up at one end and down at the other. Like most full-color Hubble images, this image is a composite, made up of several individual snapshots taken by Hubble at different times, each capturing different wavelengths of light. One notable aspect of this image is that the two sets of data that comprise this image were collected 23 years apart, in 2000 and 2023! Hubble’s longevity doesn’t just afford us the ability to produce new and better images of old targets; it also provides a long-term archive of data which only becomes more and more useful to astronomers.","ESA/Hubble & NASA, R.

Left of its center is a second, smaller galaxy with two spiral arms. The galaxy pair is so close that they appear to be merging: a tail of material with a few glowing spots connects from one of the smaller galaxy’s spiral arms to the larger galaxy. A faint halo surrounds both galaxies. Several stars are visible around the pair.","This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image depicts the cosmic tangle that is MCG+05-31-045, a pair of interacting galaxies located 390 million light-years away and a part of the Coma galaxy cluster. The Coma cluster is a particularly rich cluster that contains over a thousand known galaxies. Amateur astronomers can easily spot several of these in a backyard telescope. Most of them are elliptical galaxies, and that’s typical of a dense galaxy cluster like the Coma cluster: many elliptical galaxies form through close encounters between galaxies that stir them up, or even collisions that rip them apart. While the stars in interacting galaxies can stay together, their gas is twisted and compressed by gravitational forces and rapidly used up to form new stars. When the hot, massive, blue stars die, there is little gas left to form new generations of young stars to replace them. As spiral galaxies interact, gravity disrupts the regular orbits that produce their striking spiral arms. Whether through mergers or simple near misses, the result is a galaxy almost devoid of gas, with ageing stars orbiting in uncoordinated circles: an elliptical galaxy. It’s very likely that a similar fate will befall MCG+05-31-045. As the smaller spiral galaxy is torn up and integrated into the larger galaxy, many new stars will form, and the hot, blue ones will quickly burn out, leaving cooler, redder stars behind in an elliptical galaxy, much like others in the Coma cluster. But this process won’t be complete for many millions of years.","ESA/Hubble & NASA, R. J.

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.

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.”","This artist's concept shows the Large Magellanic Cloud, or LMC, in the foreground as it passes through the gaseous halo of the much more massive Milky Way galaxy. The encounter has blown away most of the spherical halo of gas that surrounds the LMC, as illustrated by the trailing gas stream reminiscent of a comet's tail. Still, a compact halo remains, and scientists do not expect this residual halo to be lost.

Their light allows scientists to "see" the intervening halo gas indirectly through the absorption of the background light.

Two large arms curve out away from the ends of the disk. Bright pink patches and dark reddish threads of dust fill the arms. The bright pink patches indicate where stars are forming. The core is very bright and filled with stars. Some large stars appear in front of the galaxy. Directly under the point where the right arm joins the disk, a fading supernova is visible as a green dot.","This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features NGC 1672, a barred spiral galaxy located 49 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Dorado. This galaxy is a multi-talented light show, showing off an impressive array of different celestial lights. Like any spiral galaxy, shining stars fill its disk, giving the galaxy a beautiful glow. Along its two large arms, bubbles of hydrogen gas shine in a striking red light fueled by radiation from infant stars shrouded within. Near the galaxy’s center are some particularly spectacular stars embedded within a ring of hot gas. These newly formed and extremely hot stars emit powerful X-rays. Closer in, at the galaxy’s very center, sits an even brighter source of X-rays, an active galactic nucleus. This X-ray powerhouse makes NGC 1672 a Seyfert galaxy. It forms as a result of heated matter swirling in the accretion disk around NGC 1672’s supermassive black hole.\n\nAlong with its bright young stars and X-ray core, a highlight of this image is the most fleeting and temporary of lights: a supernova, visible in just one of the six Hubble images that make up this composite. Supernova SN 2017GAX was a Type I supernova caused by the core-collapse and subsequent explosion of a giant star that went from invisible to a new light in the sky in just a matter of days. In the image above, the supernova is already fading and is visible as a small green dot just below the crook of the spiral arm on the right side. Astronomers wanted to look for any companion star that the supernova progenitor may have had — something impossible to spot beside a live supernova — so they purposefully captured this image of the fading supernova.","ESA/Hubble & NASA, O.

One loop is vertical the other is horizontal across the center of the image.","NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has provided a dramatic and colorful close-up look at one of the most rambunctious stars in our galaxy, weaving a huge spiral pattern among the stars.\n\nLocated approximately 700 light-years away, a binary star system called R Aquarii undergoes violent eruptions that blast out huge filaments of glowing gas. The twisted stellar outflows make the region look like a lawn sprinkler gone berserk. This dramatically demonstrates how the universe redistributes the products of nuclear energy that form deep inside stars and jet back into space.\n\nR Aquarii belongs to a class of double stars called symbiotic stars. The primary star is an aging red giant and its companion is a compact burned-out star known as a white dwarf. The red giant primary star is classified as a Mira variable that is over 400 times larger than our Sun. The bloated monster star pulsates, changes temperature, and varies in brightness by a factor of 750 times over a roughly 390-day period. At its peak the star is blinding at nearly 5,000 times our Sun's brightness.\n\nWhen the white dwarf star swings closest to the red giant along its 44-year orbital period, it gravitationally siphons off hydrogen gas. This material accumulates on the dwarf star's surface until it undergoes spontaneous nuclear fusion, making that surface explode like a gigantic hydrogen bomb. After the outburst, the fueling cycle begins again.\n\nThis outburst ejects geyser-like filaments shooting out from the core, forming weird loops and trails as the plasma emerges in streamers. The plasma is twisted by the force of the explosion and channeled upwards and outwards by strong magnetic fields. The outflow appears to bend back on itself into a spiral pattern. The plasma is shooting into space over 1 million miles per hour – fast enough to travel from Earth to the Moon in 15 minutes! The filaments are glowing in visible light because they are energized by blistering radiation from the stellar duo.\n\nHubble first observed the star in 1990. R Aquarii was resolved into two very bright stars separated by about 1.6 billion miles. The ESA/Hubble team now has made a unique timelapse of R Aquarii's dynamic behavior, from observations spanning from 2014 to 2023. Across the five images, the rapid and dramatic evolution of the binary star and its surrounding nebula can be seen. The binary star dims and brightens due to strong pulsations in the red giant star.\n\nThe scale of the event is extraordinary even in astronomical terms. Space-blasted material can be traced out to at least 248 billion miles from the stars, or 24 times our solar system's diameter. Images like these and more from Hubble are expected to revolutionize our ideas about such unique stellar \"volcanoes\" as R Aquarii.","NASA, ESA, Matthias Stute , Margarita Karovska , Davide De Martin (ESA/Hubble), Mahdi Zamani (ESA/Hubble)",{"x":388,"y":388},"https://science.nasa.gov/image-detail/hubble-raquarii-stsci-01j80b5p0qfsrzn9a2e48f61cx/",2048,1557,"https://science.nasa.gov/missions/hubble/nasas-hubble-sees-a-stellar-volcano/",{"name":911,"attributes":912},"nasa-blocks/tabbed-section",{"activeTab":68,"align":84,"anchor":12,"tabs":913,"tabbedSectionId":970},[914,930,943,956],{"tab_title":116,"heading":915,"subtitle":916,"content":917,"image":918,"more_link":417,"linkId":925,"caption":929,"credits":26},"A New View of the Universe","How did a telescope become a household name and change how we look at the cosmos forever?","With over 1.5 million observations and 20,000+ papers published on its discoveries, Hubble is the most productive science mission in the history of NASA.

The red dots scattered throughout the landscape are a rich population of newly forming stars still wrapped in their gas-and-dust cocoons. These tiny, faint stars are between 1 million and 2 million years old — relatively young stars — that have not yet ignited the hydrogen in their cores. The brilliant blue stars seen throughout the image are mostly foreground stars.\n\nBecause the cluster is very young — in astronomical terms — it has not had time to disperse its stars deep into interstellar space, providing astronomers with an opportunity to gather information on how the cluster formed by studying it within its star-birthing environment.\n\nFor more information, visit: https://hubblesite.org/contents/news-releases/2020/news-2020-15?news=true","NASA, ESA, A.

The mosaic was then blended with a wider photograph taken by the Mosaic Camera. The image shows a fine web of filamentary \"bicycle-spoke\" features embedded in the colorful red and blue gas ring, which is one of the nearest planetary nebulae to Earth.\n\nBecause the nebula is nearby, it appears as nearly one-half the diameter of the full Moon. This required Hubble astronomers to take several exposures with the Advanced Camera for Surveys to capture most of the Helix. Hubble views were then blended with a wider photo taken by the Mosaic Camera. The portrait offers a dizzying look down what is actually a trillion-mile-long tunnel of glowing gases. The fluorescing tube is pointed nearly directly at Earth, so it looks more like a bubble than a cylinder. A forest of thousands of comet-like filaments, embedded along the inner rim of the nebula, points back toward the central star, which is a small, super-hot white dwarf.\n\nThe tentacles formed when a hot \"stellar wind\" of gas plowed into colder shells of dust and gas ejected previously by the doomed star. Ground-based telescopes have seen these comet-like filaments for decades, but never before in such detail. The filaments may actually lie in a disk encircling the hot star, like a collar. The radiant tie-die colors correspond to glowing oxygen (blue) and hydrogen and nitrogen (red).\n\nValuable Hubble observing time became available during the November 2002 Leonid meteor storm. To protect the spacecraft, including Hubble's precise mirror, controllers turned the aft end into the direction of the meteor stream for about half a day. Fortunately, the Helix Nebula was almost exactly in the opposite direction of the meteor stream, so Hubble used nine orbits to photograph the nebula while it waited out the storm. To capture the sprawling nebula, Hubble had to take nine separate snapshots.\n\n Planetary nebulae like the Helix are sculpted late in a Sun-like star's life by a torrential gush of gases escaping from the dying star. They have nothing to do with planet formation, but got their name because they look like planetary disks when viewed through a small telescope. With higher magnification, the classic \"doughnut-hole\" in the middle of a planetary nebula can be resolved. Based on the nebula's distance of 650 light-years, its angular size corresponds to a huge ring with a diameter of nearly 3 light-years. That's approximately three-quarters of the distance between our Sun and the nearest star.\n\nThe Helix Nebula is a popular target of amateur astronomers and can be seen with binoculars as a ghostly, greenish cloud in the constellation Aquarius. Larger amateur telescopes can resolve the ring-shaped nebula, but only the largest ground-based telescopes can resolve the radial streaks. After careful analysis, astronomers concluded the nebula really isn't a bubble, but is a cylinder that happens to be pointed toward Earth.\n\n For more information please visit:\n\nhttps://hubblesite.org/contents/news-releases/2003/news-2003-11.html?page=1&keyword=Helix%20Nebula#section-id-2\n\n\n","NASA, NOAO, ESA, the Hubble Helix Nebula Team, M.

With its higher resolution, the new camera provides a sharper view of the pillars and also presents a wider vista, showing the base of the pillars and more of the region surrounding them.\n\nIn addition, the new observations captured a portrait of the pillars in infrared light, as well as in visible light. The longer wavelengths of infrared light pass more easily through the dusty environs, allowing us to see more of the wispy details and the stars normally hidden inside or behind the pillars when viewed in visible light.\n\nBy comparing Hubble's original image of the pillars to the new one, astronomers also noticed changes in a jet-like feature shooting away from one of the newborn stars within the pillars. The jet grew 60 billion miles longer in the time between observations, suggesting material in the jet was traveling at a speed of about 450,000 miles per hour.\n\nSuch observations of the details and changes in the pillars of the Eagle Nebula, and of observations near and far throughout the universe, have been made possible by Hubble’s viewpoint beyond Earth's atmosphere, by its technical upgrades over the years, and the longevity of its career.\n\nFor more information please visit: hubblesite.org/contents/news-releases/2015/news-2015-01.html",{"x":388,"y":388},"https://science.nasa.gov/image-detail/38006201014-dea5f67b3f-o/",480,{"id":1375,"url":1376,"alt":1377,"caption":1378,"credits":1317,"fit":386,"zoom":109,"focalPoint":1379,"parallax":389,"detail_link":1380,"contentType":74,"width":24,"height":1163},115718,"https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/36232135441-7a0a19db8c-o.jpg?w=1024","This image shows the pillars as seen in infrared light, allowing it to pierce through obscuring dust and gas and unveil a more unfamiliar — but just as amazing — view of the pillars.

Another more revealing name might be the \"Twin Jet Nebula.\" If the nebula is sliced across the star, each side of it appears much like a pair of exhausts from jet engines. Indeed, because of the nebula's shape and the measured velocity of the gas, in excess of 200 miles per second, astronomers believe that the description as a super-supersonic jet exhaust is quite apt. Ground-based studies have shown that the nebula's size increases with time, suggesting that the stellar outburst that formed the lobes occurred just 1,200 years ago.\n\nThe central star in M2-9 is known to be one of a very close pair which orbit one another at perilously close distances. It is even possible that one star is being engulfed by the other. Astronomers suspect the gravity of one star pulls weakly bound gas from the surface of the other and flings it into a thin, dense disk that surrounds both stars and extends well into space.\n\nThe disk can actually be seen in shorter exposure images obtained with Hubble. It measures approximately 10 times the diameter of Pluto's orbit. Models of the type that are used to design jet engines (\"hydrodynamics\") show that such a disk can successfully account for the jet-exhaust-like appearance of M2-9. The high-speed wind from one of the stars rams into the surrounding disk, which serves as a nozzle. The wind is deflected in a perpendicular direction and forms the pair of jets that we see in the nebula's image. This is much the same process that takes place in a jet engine: The burning and expanding gases are deflected by the engine walls through a nozzle to form long, collimated jets of hot air at high speeds.\n\nM2-9 is 2,100 light-years away in the constellation Ophiucus. The observation was taken August 2, 1997, by Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. In this image, neutral oxygen is shown in red, once-ionized nitrogen in green, and twice-ionized oxygen in blue.\n\nFor more information please visit: hubblesite.org/image/563/news_release/1997-38","NASA, Bruce Balick (University of Washington), Vincent Icke (Leiden University, The Netherlands), and Garrelt Mellema (Stockholm University)",{"x":388,"y":388},"https://science.nasa.gov/image-detail/38452520782-1f6f941eac-o/",587,328,{"id":1392,"url":1393,"alt":1394,"caption":1395,"credits":1396,"fit":386,"zoom":109,"focalPoint":1397,"parallax":389,"detail_link":1398,"contentType":74,"width":1399,"height":710},115737,"https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/37597023665-4b92781d06-o.jpg?w=645","Wisps of dark green dust at the bottom left of the image as a bright star is shining its light from the top right of the image.","NASA's Hubble Space Telescope caught the eerie, wispy tendrils of a dark interstellar cloud being destroyed by the passage of one of the brightest stars in the Pleiades star cluster. Like a flashlight beam shining off the wall of a cave, the star is reflecting light off the surface of pitch-black clouds of cold gas laced with dust. These are called reflection nebulae.\n\nThe famous cluster is easily visible in the evening sky during the winter months as a small grouping of bright blue stars, named after the \"Seven Sisters\" of Greek mythology. Resembling a small dipper, this star cluster lies in the constellation Taurus at a distance of about 380 light-years from Earth. The unaided eye can discern about half a dozen bright stars in the cluster, but a small telescope will reveal that the Pleiades contains many hundreds of fainter stars.\n\nIn many cases, the nebulae surrounding star clusters represent material from which the stars have formed recently. However the Pleiades nebulosity is actually an independent cloud, drifting through the cluster at a relative speed of about 6.8 miles per second (11 kilometers per second).\n\nIn 1890, American astronomer E. E. Barnard, observing visually with the Lick Observatory 36-inch telescope in California, discovered an exceptionally bright nebulosity adjacent to the bright Pleiades star Merope. It is now cataloged as IC 349, or \"Barnard's Merope Nebula.\" IC 349 is so bright because it lies extremely close to Merope — only about 3,500 times the separation of Earth from the Sun, or about 0.06 light-year — and thus is strongly illuminated by the star's light.\n\nIn this Hubble image, Merope itself is just outside the frame to the upper right. The colorful rays of light at the upper right, pointing back to the star, are an optical phenomenon produced within the telescope, and are not real. However, the remarkable parallel wisps extending from lower left to upper right are real features, revealed for the first time through Hubble's high-resolution imaging capability. Astronomers obtained these broadband observations with Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 on September 19, 1999.\n\nAstronomers propose that, as the Merope Nebula approaches Merope, the strong starlight shining on the dust decelerates the dust particles. Physicists call this phenomenon \"radiation pressure.\"\n\nSmaller dust particles are slowed down more by the radiation pressure than the larger particles. Thus, as the cloud approaches the star, there is a sifting of particles by size, much like grain thrown in the air to separate wheat from chaff. The nearly straight lines pointing toward Merope are thus streams of larger particles, continuing on toward the star while the smaller decelerated particles are left behind at the lower left of the picture.\n\nOver the next few thousand years, the nebula (if it survives the close passage without being completely destroyed) will move on past Merope, somewhat like a comet swinging past our Sun. This chance collision allows astronomers to study interstellar material under very rare conditions, and thus learn more about the structure of the dust lying between the stars.\n\nFor more information please visit: hubblesite.org/image/1009/news_release/2000-36","NASA and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA) Acknowledgment: George Herbig and Theodore Simon (Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii)",{"x":388,"y":388},"https://science.nasa.gov/image-detail/37597023665-4b92781d06-o/",645,{"id":1401,"url":1402,"alt":1403,"caption":1404,"credits":1405,"fit":386,"zoom":109,"focalPoint":1406,"parallax":389,"detail_link":1407,"contentType":74,"width":24,"height":1408},115800,"https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/45940079074-62e525b01d-o.jpg?w=1024","Two different shots of rusty Mars next to each other.

The star at the center of IC 418 was a red giant a few thousand years ago, but then ejected its outer layers into space to form the nebula, which has now expanded to a diameter of about 0.1 light-year. The stellar remnant at the center is the hot core of the red giant, from which ultraviolet radiation floods out into the surrounding gas, causing it to fluoresce. Over the next several thousand years, the nebula will gradually disperse into space, and then the star will cool and fade away for billions of years as a white dwarf. Our own Sun is expected to undergo a similar fate, but fortunately this will not occur until some 5 billion years from now.\n\nThe Hubble image of IC 418 is shown in a false-color representation, based on WFPC2 exposures taken in February and September 1999 through filters that isolate light from various chemical elements.

Although that image of the heavens came only from the artist's restless imagination, a picture from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope bears remarkable similarities to the van Gogh work, complete with never-before-seen spirals of dust swirling across trillions of miles of interstellar space.\n\nThis image, obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on February 8, 2004, shows an expanding halo of light around a distant star named V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon). The illumination of interstellar dust comes from the red supergiant star at the middle of the image, which appeared to give off a flashbulb-like pulse of light in 2002. V838 Mon is located about 20,000 light-years away from Earth in the direction of the constellation Monoceros, placing the star at the outer edge of our Milky Way Galaxy.\n\nCalled a light echo, the expanding illumination of a dusty cloud around the star has been revealing remarkable structures ever since the star appeared to suddenly brighten for several weeks in early 2002. Though Hubble has followed the light echo in several snapshots, this image shows swirls or eddies in the dusty cloud for the first time. These eddies are probably caused by turbulence in the dust and gas around the star as they slowly expand away. The dust and gas were likely ejected from the star in a previous explosion, similar to the 2002 event, which occurred some tens of thousands of years ago. The surrounding dust remained invisible and unsuspected until suddenly illuminated by the brilliant explosion of the central star two years ago.\n\nHubble has imaged V838 Mon and its light echo several times since the star's observed outburst in January 2002, in order to follow the constantly changing appearance of the dust as the pulse of illumination continues to expand away from the star at the speed of light. During the outburst event, the normally faint star suddenly brightened, becoming 600,000 times more luminous than our Sun. It was thus one of the brightest stars in the entire Milky Way, until it faded away again in April 2002. The star has some similarities to a class of objects called \"novae,\" which suddenly increase in brightness due to thermonuclear explosions at their surfaces; however, the detailed behavior of V838 Mon, in particular its extremely red color, has been completely different from any previously known nova.\n\nNature's own piece of performance art, this structure will continue to change its appearance as the light from the stellar outburst continues to propagate outward and bounce off more distant black clouds of dust.\n\nFor more information please visit: hubblesite.org/image/1491/news_release/2004-10","NASA and the Hubble Heritage Team (AURA/STScI)",{"x":388,"y":388},"https://science.nasa.gov/image-detail/idl-tiff-file-42/",1120,{"id":1438,"url":1439,"alt":1440,"caption":1441,"credits":1442,"fit":386,"zoom":109,"focalPoint":1443,"parallax":389,"detail_link":1444,"contentType":74,"width":24,"height":1445},115864,"https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/50330680253-458032d203-o.jpg?w=1024","Galaxy with soft purple arms and blue stars spiraling around its bright white center.","A photogenic and favorite target for amateur astronomers, the full beauty of nearby spiral galaxy M83, also known as the Southern Pinwheel, is unveiled in all of its glory in this Hubble Space Telescope mosaic image.

The rapidly spinning neutron star embedded in the center of the nebula is the dynamo powering the nebula's eerie interior bluish glow. The blue light comes from electrons whirling at nearly the speed of light around magnetic field lines from the neutron star, which is the crushed, ultra-dense core of the exploded star.\n\nLike a lighthouse, the neutron star produces twin beams of radiation. From Earth, it appears to pulse 30 times a second due to the neutron star's rotation sweeping the beams across our line of sight. It has the mass equivalent to the Sun crammed into a rapidly spinning ball of neutrons 12 miles across.\n\nThe nebula derived its name from its appearance in an 1844 drawing made by Irish astronomer Lord Rosse, who used a 36-inch telescope. When viewed by Hubble, as well as by large, ground-based telescopes, the Crab Nebula takes on a more detailed appearance that yields clues into the spectacular demise of the star.\n\nIt has been found that the knots lie relatively close to the source of the ionizing radiation, which may lead to higher gas temperatures of the knots than expected.

Lots of bubbles of dust interweave each other.","Not only is the Cat's Eye Nebula, formally cataloged NGC 6543, one of the first planetary nebulae to be discovered, it is also one of the most complex such nebulae seen in space. A planetary nebula forms when a Sun-like star gently ejects its outer gaseous layers, creating a bright nebula with amazing and confounding shapes.\n\nIn 1994, Hubble first revealed NGC 6543's surprisingly intricate structures, including concentric gas shells, jets of high-speed gas, and unusual shock-induced knots of gas.\n\nAs if the Cat's Eye itself isn't spectacular enough, this newer image taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) reveals the full beauty of a bull's-eye pattern of eleven or even more concentric rings, or shells, around the Cat's Eye. Each \"ring\" is actually the edge of a spherical bubble seen projected onto the sky — that's why it appears bright along its outer edge.\n\nObservations suggest the star ejected its mass in a series of pulses at 1,500-year intervals. These convulsions created dust shells, each of which contain as much mass as all of the planets in our solar system combined (still only one percent of the Sun's mass). These concentric shells make a layered, onion-skin structure around the dying star. The view from Hubble is like seeing an onion cut in half, where each skin layer is discernible.\n\nUntil recently, it was thought that such shells around planetary nebulae were a rare phenomenon. However, Romano Corradi (Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes, Spain) and collaborators, in a paper published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics in April 2004, have instead shown that the formation of these rings is likely to be the rule rather than the exception.\n\nThe bull's-eye patterns seen around planetary nebulae come as a surprise to astronomers because they had no expectation that episodes of mass loss at the end of stellar lives would repeat every 1,500 years. Several explanations have been proposed, including cycles of magnetic activity somewhat similar to our own Sun's sunspot cycle, the action of companion stars orbiting around the dying star, and stellar pulsations. Another school of thought is that the material is ejected smoothly from the star, and the rings are created later on due to formation of waves in the outflowing material. It will take further observations and more theoretical studies to decide between these and other possible explanations.\n\nApproximately 1,000 years ago the pattern of mass loss suddenly changed, and the Cat's Eye Nebula started forming inside the dusty shells. It has been expanding ever since, as discernible in comparing Hubble images taken in 1994, 1997, 2000, and 2002. The puzzle is what caused this dramatic change? Many aspects of the process that leads a star to lose its gaseous envelope are still poorly known, and the study of planetary nebulae is one of the few ways to recover information about these last few thousand years in the life of a Sun-like star.\n\nFor more information please visit: hubblesite.org/image/1578/news_release/2004-27","NASA, ESA, HEIC, and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA) Acknowledgment: R.

Bright white stars in the center of the image.","This dramatic image offers a peek inside a cavern of roiling dust and gas where thousands of stars are forming. The image, taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) aboard NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, represents the sharpest view ever taken of this region, called the Orion Nebula. More than 3,000 stars of various sizes appear in this image. Some of them have never been seen in visible light. These stars reside in a dramatic dust-and-gas landscape of plateaus, mountains, and valleys that are reminiscent of the Grand Canyon.\n\nThe Orion Nebula is a picture book of star formation, from the massive, young stars that are shaping the nebula to the pillars of dense gas that may be the homes of budding stars. The bright central region is the home of the four heftiest stars in the nebula. The stars are called the Trapezium because they are arranged in a trapezoid pattern. Ultraviolet light unleashed by these stars is carving a cavity in the nebula and disrupting the growth of hundreds of smaller stars. Located near the Trapezium stars are stars still young enough to have disks of material encircling them. These disks are called protoplanetary disks or \"proplyds.\" The disks are the building blocks of solar systems.\n\nThe bright glow at upper left is from M43, a small region being shaped by a massive, young star's ultraviolet light. Astronomers call the region a miniature Orion Nebula because only one star is sculpting the landscape. The Orion Nebula has four such stars. Next to M43 are dense, dark pillars of dust and gas that point toward the Trapezium. These pillars are resisting erosion from the Trapezium's intense ultraviolet light. The glowing region on the right reveals arcs and bubbles formed when stellar winds — streams of charged particles ejected from the Trapezium stars — collide with material.\n\nFaint reddish points near the bottom are brown dwarfs that Hubble spied for the first time in the nebula in visible light. Sometimes called \"failed stars,\" brown dwarfs are cool objects that are too small to be ordinary stars because they cannot sustain nuclear fusion in their cores the way our Sun does. The dark red column, below left, shows an illuminated edge of the cavity wall.\n\nThe Orion Nebula is 1,500 light-years away, the nearest star-forming region to Earth. Astronomers used 520 Hubble images, taken in five colors, to make this picture. They also added ground-based photos to fill out the nebula. The ACS mosaic covers approximately the apparent angular size of the full moon.\n\nThe Orion observations were taken between 2004 and 2005.\n\n For more information please visit: hubblesite.org/image/1826/news_release/2006-01","NASA, ESA, M.

They have been duplicated by the \"gravitational lens\" of the cluster of yellow, elliptical and spiral galaxies — called 0024+1654 — near the photograph's center. The gravitational lens is produced by the cluster's tremendous gravitational field that bends light to magnify, brighten, and distort the image of a more distant object.\n\nIn this photograph, light from the distant galaxy bends as it passes through the cluster, dividing the galaxy's light into five separate images. One image is near the center of the image; the others are at 6, 7, 8, and 2 o'clock. The light also has distorted the galaxy's image from a normal spiral shape into a more arc-shaped object. Astronomers are certain the blue-shaped objects are copies of the same galaxy because the shapes are similar.\n\nThough the gravitational light-bending process was well known, Hubble's high resolution revealed structures within the blue-shaped galaxy that astronomers had never seen before.\n\nFor more information, visit: hubblesite.org/news_release/news/1996-10","W.N.

The pillar is also being assaulted from within, as infant stars buried inside it fire off jets of gas that can be seen streaming from towering peaks.\n\nThis turbulent cosmic pinnacle lies within a tempestuous stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula, located 7,500 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina.\n\nScorching radiation and fast winds (streams of charged particles) from super-hot newborn stars in the nebula are shaping and compressing the pillar, causing new stars to form within it. Streamers of hot ionized gas can be seen flowing off the ridges of the structure, and wispy veils of gas and dust, illuminated by starlight, float around its towering peaks. The denser parts of the pillar are resisting being eroded by radiation much like a towering butte in Utah's Monument Valley withstands erosion by water and wind.\n\nNestled inside this dense mountain are fledgling stars. Long streamers of gas can be seen shooting in opposite directions off the pedestal at the top of the image. A second pair of jets is visible at another peak near the center of the image. These jets (known as HH 901 and HH 902) are the signpost for new star birth. The jets are launched by swirling disks around the young stars, which allow material to slowly accrete onto the stars' surfaces.\n\nHubble's Wide Field Camera 3 observed the pillar on February 1-2, 2010.

The nebula, shadowy in optical light, appears transparent and ethereal when seen in the infrared, represented here with visible shades. The rich tapestry of the Horsehead Nebula pops out against the backdrop of Milky Way stars and distant galaxies that are easily seen in infrared light.\n\nThe backlit wisps along the Horsehead's upper ridge are being illuminated by Sigma Orionis, a young five-star system just off the top of the Hubble image. A harsh ultraviolet glare from one of these bright stars is slowly evaporating the nebula. Along the nebula's top ridge, two fledgling stars peek out from their now-exposed nurseries.\n\nGas clouds surrounding the Horsehead have already dissipated, but the tip of the jutting pillar contains a slightly higher density of hydrogen and helium, laced with dust. This casts a shadow that protects material behind it from being photo-evaporated, and a pillar structure forms. Astronomers estimate that the Horsehead formation has about five million years left before it too disintegrates.\n\nThe Horsehead Nebula is part of a much larger complex in the constellation Orion. Known collectively as the Orion Molecular Cloud, it also houses other famous objects such as the Great Orion Nebula (M42), the Flame Nebula, and Barnard's Loop.

NGC 105’s elongated neighbour is actually far more distant and remains relatively unknown to astronomers. These misleading conjunctions occur frequently in astronomy — for example, the stars in constellations are at vastly different distances from Earth, and only appear to form patterns thanks to the chance alignment of their component stars. The Wide Field Camera 3 observations in this image are from a vast collection of Hubble measurements examining nearby galaxies which contain two fascinating astronomical phenomena — Cepheid variables and cataclysmic supernova explosions. Whilst these two phenomena may appear to be unrelated — one is a peculiar class of pulsating stars and the other is the explosion caused by the catastrophic final throes of a massive star’s life — they are both used by astronomers for a very particular purpose: measuring the vast distances to astronomical objects. Both Cepheids and supernovae have very predictable luminosities, meaning that astronomers can tell precisely how bright they are. By measuring how bright they appear when observed from Earth, these “standard candles” can provide reliable distance measurements. NGC 105 contains both supernovae and Cepheid variables, giving astronomers a valuable opportunity to calibrate the two distance measurement techniques against one another. Astronomers recently carefully analysed the distances to a sample of galaxies including NGC 105 to measure how fast the Universe is expanding — a value known as the Hubble constant. Their results don’t agree with the predictions of the most widely-accepted cosmological model, and their analysis shows that there is only a 1-in-a-million chance that this discrepancy was caused by measurement errors. This discrepancy between galaxy measurements and cosmological predictions has been a long-standing source of consternation for astronomers, and these recent findings provide persuasive new evidence that something is either wrong or lacking in our standard model of cosmology.","This spectacular image from the Hubble Space Telescope captures the spiral galaxy NGC 105, which lies roughly 215 million light-years away in the constellation Pisces.\n\nWhile it looks like NGC 105 is plunging edge-on into a neighboring galaxy, this is just a circumstance of perspective.

The Hubble image of the Bubble Nebula, or NGC 7635, was chosen to mark the 26th anniversary of the launch of Hubble into Earth orbit by the STS-31 space shuttle crew on April 24, 1990.\n\nThe Bubble Nebula is 7 light-years across — about one-and-a-half times the distance from our Sun to its nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri — and resides 7,100 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia.\n\nThe seething star forming this nebula is 45 times more massive than our Sun. Gas on the star gets so hot that it escapes away into space as a \"stellar wind\" moving at over 4 million miles per hour. This outflow sweeps up the cold, interstellar gas in front of it, forming the outer edge of the bubble much like a snowplow piles up snow in front of it as it moves forward.\n\nAs the surface of the bubble's shell expands outward, it slams into dense regions of cold gas on one side of the bubble. This asymmetry makes the star appear dramatically off-center from the bubble, with its location in the 10 o'clock position in the Hubble view.\n\nDense pillars of cool hydrogen gas laced with dust appear at the upper left of the picture, and more \"fingers\" can be seen nearly face-on, behind the translucent bubble.\n\nThe gases, heated to varying temperatures, emit different colors: oxygen is hot enough to emit blue light in the bubble near the star, while the cooler pillars are yellow from the combined light of hydrogen and nitrogen. The pillars are similar to the iconic columns in the \"Pillars of Creation\" in the Eagle Nebula. As seen with the structures in the Eagle Nebula, the Bubble Nebula pillars are being illuminated by the strong ultraviolet radiation from the brilliant star inside the bubble.\n\nThe Bubble Nebula was discovered in 1787 by William Herschel, a prominent British astronomer. It is being formed by an O star, BD +60°2522, an extremely bright, massive, and short-lived star that has lost most of its outer hydrogen and is now fusing helium into heavier elements. The star is about 4 million years old, and in 10 million to 20 million years, it will likely detonate as a supernova.\n\nHubble's Wide Field Camera 3 imaged the nebula in visible light with unprecedented clarity in February 2016. The colors correspond to blue for oxygen, green for hydrogen, and red for nitrogen. This information will help astronomers understand the geometry and dynamics of this complex system.\n\nThe Bubble Nebula is one of only a handful of astronomical objects that have been observed with several different instruments onboard Hubble.

In fact, it is thanks to Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) that we are able to see Liller 1 so clearly in this image, because the WFC3 is sensitive to wavelengths of light that the human eye cannot detect. Liller 1 is only 30,000 light-years from Earth — relatively nearby in astronomical terms — but it lies within the Milky Way’s ‘bulge’, the dense and dusty region at our galaxy’s center. Because of that, Liller 1 is heavily obscured from view by interstellar dust, which scatters visible light (particularly blue light) very effectively. Fortunately, some infrared and red visible light are able to pass through these dusty regions. WFC3 is sensitive to both visible and near-infrared (infrared that is close to the visible) wavelengths, allowing us to see through the obscuring clouds of dust, and providing this spectacular view of Liller 1.\n\nLiller 1 is a particularly interesting globular cluster, because unlike most of its kind, it contains a mix of very young and very old stars. Globular clusters typically house only old stars, some nearly as old as the universe itself. Liller 1 instead contains at least two distinct stellar populations with remarkably different ages: the oldest one is 12 billion years old and the youngest component is just 1-2 billion years old. This led astronomers to conclude that this stellar system was able to form stars over an extraordinary long period of time.\n\nFor more information, visit: esahubble.org/images/potw2221a/","ESA/Hubble & NASA, F.

The tiny NGC 1510 to the right, on the other hand, is a dwarf galaxy. Despite their very different sizes, each galaxy affects the other through gravity, causing slow changes in their appearances.\n\nThe bar in NGC 1512 acts as a cosmic funnel, channeling the raw materials required for star formation from the outer ring into the heart of the galaxy. This pipeline of gas and dust in NGC 1512 fuels intense star birth in the bright, blue, shimmering inner disk known as a circumnuclear starburst ring, which spans 2,400 light-years. Both the bar and the starburst ring are thought to be at least in part the result of the interaction between the two galaxies — a merger that has been going on for 400 million years.\n\nNGC 1512, which has been observed by Hubble in the past, is also home to a second, more serene, star-forming region in its outer ring. This ring is dotted with dozens of HII regions, where large swathes of hydrogen gas are subject to intense radiation from nearby, newly formed stars. This radiation causes the gas to glow and creates the bright knots of light seen throughout the ring.\n\nRemarkably, NGC 1512 extends even farther than we can see in this image — beyond the outer ring — displaying malformed, tendril-like spiral arms enveloping NGC 1510.

The camera can snap sharp images over a broad range of wavelengths, including near-infrared light, visible light, and near-ultraviolet radiation. The image, differing from previous Hubble images of Omega Centauri, showcases the camera's color versatility by revealing a variety of stars in key stages of their life cycles.\n\nThe majority of the stars in the image are yellow-white, like our Sun. These are adult stars that are shining by hydrogen fusion. Toward the end of their normal lives, the stars become cooler and larger. These late-life stars are the orange dots in the image.\n\nEven later in their life cycles, the stars continue to cool down and expand in size, becoming red giants. These bright red stars swell to many times larger than our Sun's size and begin to shed their gaseous envelopes.\n\nAfter ejecting most of their mass and exhausting much of their hydrogen fuel, the stars appear brilliant blue. Only a thin layer of material covers their super-hot cores. These stars are fusing helium in their cores. At this stage, they emit much of their light at ultraviolet wavelengths.\n\nWhen the helium runs out, the stars reach the end of their lives. Only their burned-out cores remain, and they are called white dwarfs (the faint blue dots in the image). White dwarfs are no longer generating energy through nuclear fusion and have gravitationally contracted to the size of Earth. They will continue to cool and grow dimmer for many billions of years until they become dark cinders.\n\nOther stars that appear in the image are so-called \"blue stragglers.\" They are older stars that acquire a new lease on life when they collide and merge with other stars. The encounters boost the stars' energy-production rate, making them appear bluer.\n\nThe average distance between any two stars in the cluster's crowded core is only about a third of a light-year, roughly 13 times closer than our Sun's nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri. If anyone lived in this globular cluster, they would behold a star-saturated sky that is roughly 100 times brighter than Earth's sky.\n\nGlobular clusters were thought to be assemblages of stars that share the same birth date. Evidence suggests, however, that Omega Centauri has at least two populations of stars with different ages. Some astronomers think that the cluster may be the remnant of a small galaxy that was gravitationally disrupted long ago by the Milky Way.\n\nFor more information, visit: hubblesite.org/contents/news-releases/2009/news-2009-25.html","NASA, ESA, and the Hubble SM4 ERO Team",{"x":388,"y":388},"https://science.nasa.gov/image-detail/omega-centauri-2/",1221,{"id":1687,"url":1688,"alt":1689,"caption":1690,"credits":1691,"fit":386,"zoom":109,"focalPoint":1692,"parallax":389,"detail_link":1693,"contentType":74,"width":24,"height":1694},115832,"https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/m82.jpg?w=1024","Cigar Galaxy M82","M82 or the Cigar galaxy, shines brightly at infrared wavelengths and is remarkable for its star formation activity. The Cigar galaxy experiences gravitational interactions with its galactic neighbor, M81, causing it to have an extraordinarily high rate of star formation — a starburst.\n\nAround the galaxy’s center, young stars are being born 10 times faster than they are inside our entire Milky Way galaxy. Radiation and energetic particles from these newborn stars carve into the surrounding gas, and the resulting galactic wind compresses enough gas to make millions of more stars. The rapid rate of star formation in this galaxy eventually will be self-limiting. When star formation becomes too vigorous, it will consume or destroy the material needed to make more stars. The starburst will then subside, probably in a few tens of millions of years.\n\nM82 was discovered, along with its neighbor M81, by the German astronomer Johann Elert Bode in 1774. Located 12 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major, M82 has an apparent magnitude of 8.4 and is best observed in April.

It appears to have two nested hourglass-shaped structures that were sculpted by a whirling pair of stars in a binary system. The duo consists of an aging red giant star and a burned-out star, a white dwarf. The red giant is shedding its outer layers. Some of this ejected material is attracted by the gravity of the companion white dwarf.\n\nThe result is that both stars are embedded in a flat disk of gas stretching between them. This belt of material constricts the outflow of gas so that it only speeds away above and below the disk. The result is an hourglass-shaped nebula.\n\nThe bubbles of gas and dust appear brightest at the edges, giving the illusion of crab-leg structures.

Only when these inconspicuous round rocks are split in half by a geologist do we get a chance to appreciate the inside of the rock cavity that is lined with crystals. In the case of this 35-light-year-diameter \"celestial geode,\" the transparency of its bubble-like cavity of interstellar gas and dust reveals the treasures of its interior.\n\nThe object, called N44F, is being inflated by a torrent of fast-moving particles (called a \"stellar wind\") from an exceptionally hot star once buried inside a cold dense cloud. Compared with our Sun (which is losing mass through the so-called \"solar wind\"), the central star in N44F is ejecting more than a 100 million times more mass per second. The hurricane of particles moves much faster at about 4 million miles per hour (7 million kilometers per hour), as opposed to about 0.9 million miles per hour (1.5 million kilometers per hour) for our Sun. Because the bright central star does not exist in empty space but is surrounded by an envelope of gas, the stellar wind collides with this gas, pushing it out like a snowplow. This forms a bubble, whose striking structure is clearly visible in the crisp Hubble image.\n\nThe nebula N44F is one of a handful of known interstellar bubbles. Bubbles like these have been seen around evolved massive stars (Wolf-Rayet stars), and also around clusters of stars (where they are called \"super-bubbles\"). But they have rarely been viewed around isolated stars, as is the case here.\n\nOn closer inspection N44F harbors additional surprises. The interior wall of its gaseous cavity is lined with several four- to eight-light-year-high finger-like columns of cool dust and gas. (The structure of these \"columns\" is similar to the Eagle Nebula's iconic \"Pillars of Creation\" photographed by Hubble, and is seen in a few other nebulae as well). The fingers are created by a blistering ultraviolet radiation from the central star. Like windsocks caught in a gale, they point in the direction of the energy flow. These pillars look small in this image only because they are much farther away from us than the Eagle Nebula's pillars.\n\nN44F is located about 160,000 light-years in our neighboring dwarf galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud, in the direction of the southern constellation Dorado. N44F is part of the larger N44 complex, which is a large super-bubble, blown out by the combined action of stellar winds and multiple supernova explosions. N44 itself is roughly 1,000 light-years across. Several compact star-forming regions, including N44F, are found along the rim of the central super-bubble.\n\nThis image was taken with Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 in March 2002, using filters that isolate light emitted by sulfur (shown in blue) and hydrogen gas (shown in red).\n\nFor more information please visit: hubblesite.org/contents/news-releases/2004/news-2004-26.html","NASA, ESA, Y.

This Hubble image reveals the true shape of MyCn18 to be an hourglass with an intricate pattern of \"etchings\" in its walls. This picture has been composed from three separate images taken in the light of ionized nitrogen (represented by red), hydrogen (green), and doubly ionized oxygen (blue). The results are of great interest because they shed new light on the poorly understood ejection of stellar matter that accompanies the slow death of Sun-like stars. In previous ground-based images, MyCn18 appeared to be a pair of large outer rings with a smaller central one, but the fine details could not be seen.\n\nAccording to one theory for the formation of planetary nebulae, the hourglass shape is produced by the expansion of a fast stellar wind within a slowly expanding cloud that is more dense near its equator than near its poles. What appears as a bright elliptical ring in the center, and at first sight might be mistaken for an equatorially dense region, is seen on closer inspection to be a potato-shaped structure with a symmetry axis dramatically different from that of the larger hourglass. The hot star that has been thought to eject and illuminate the nebula, and therefore expected to lie at its center of symmetry, is clearly off center. Hence MyCn18, as revealed by Hubble, does not fulfill some crucial theoretical expectations.\n\nHubble also revealed other features in MyCn18 that are completely new and unexpected. For example, there is a pair of intersecting elliptical rings in the central region, which appear to be the rims of a smaller hourglass. There are the intricate patterns of the etchings on the hourglass walls. The arc-like etchings could be the remnants of discrete shells ejected from the star when it was younger, or flow instabilities, or could result from the action of a narrow beam of matter impinging on the hourglass walls.

It is therefore not entirely clear whether the southern component actually interacts with the northern pair.\n\nFor more information, visit: hubblesite.org/news_release/news/2009-18",{"x":388,"y":388},"https://science.nasa.gov/image-detail/46838064514-9d19dcd578-o/",1227,{"id":1807,"url":1808,"alt":1809,"caption":1810,"credits":1811,"fit":386,"zoom":109,"focalPoint":1812,"parallax":389,"detail_link":1813,"contentType":74,"width":24,"height":1814},116159,"https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/40370191930-5e438cf3ca-o.jpg?w=1024","Large spiral galaxy as seen from the top.

These arms are star-formation factories, compressing hydrogen gas and creating clusters of new stars.\n\nSome astronomers believe that the Whirlpool's arms are so prominent because of the effects of a close encounter with NGC 5195, the small, yellowish galaxy at the outermost tip of one of the Whirlpool's arms. At first glance, the compact galaxy appears to be tugging on the arm. Hubble's clear view, however, shows that NGC 5195 is passing behind the Whirlpool.

In total, there are about 400,000 stars in the globular cluster. M75 is believed to be around 13 billion years old and sits approximately 67,500 light-years away from Earth.\n\nLocated in the western part of Sagittarius, M75 has a magnitude of 8.6. The cluster is surprisingly easy to see in binoculars and telescopes thanks to it being extremely condensed in the center. However, because of its compact nature, M75 can barely be distinguished from a star when viewed in binoculars. Telescopes that are 10 inches across or larger are needed to resolve some of the stars in the cluster. August is the best month to observe M75.\n\nThis Hubble image of M75 is a composite of observations taken in near-infrared and visible light using the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 and the Wide Field Camera 3. The image features the bright central core of M75 and its surrounding stars.

When these stars reach retirement age, however, they transform into unique and often psychedelic works of art. This Hubble Space Telescope image of Caldwell 55, also known as the Saturn Nebula and NGC 7009, shows the result, called a planetary nebula. While it looks like a piece of wrapped cosmic candy, what we see is actually the outer gaseous layers of a dying star.\n\nStars are powered by nuclear fusion, but each one comes with a limited supply of fuel. When a medium-mass star exhausts its nuclear fuel, it will swell up and shrug off its outer layers until only a small, hot core remains. The leftover core, called a white dwarf, is a lot like a hot coal that glows after a barbecue — eventually it will fade out. Until then, the cast-off gaseous debris fluoresces as it expands out into the cosmos, possibly destined to be recycled into later generations of stars and planets.\n\nThe Saturn Nebula is only about 1,400 light-years away in the direction of the Aquarius constellation. Its proximity has made it a popular target for study by telescopes all around the world. Hubble took this image in visible light using the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 in 1996. Using Hubble’s observations, scientists have characterized the nebula’s composition, structure, temperature, and the way it interacts with surrounding material. Studying planetary nebulae is particularly interesting since our Sun will experience a similar fate around five billion years down the road.\n\nThe Saturn Nebula has been known since 1782 when it was discovered by astronomer William Herschel. Late summer skies will provide ideal viewing of this kaleidoscopic structure for Northern Hemisphere observers (late winter for those in the Southern Hemisphere). This magnitude-8 nebula will look like a star in smaller telescopes, but larger telescopes will reveal more detail, including two extended lobes on either side of the nebula that resemble the rings of Saturn, lending the nebula its nickname. Using high magnification along with averted vision (looking away from the center of the object) will provide the best views of the fainter exterior regions of the nebula.\n\nFor more information about Hubble’s observations of Caldwell 55, see: hubblesite.org/image/575\n\nFor Hubble's Caldwell catalog website and information on how to find these objects in the night sky, visit: www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/hubble-s-caldwell-catalog","Bruce Balick (University of Washington), Jason Alexander (University of Washington), Arsen Hajian (U.S. Naval Observatory), Yervant Terzian (Cornell University), Mario Perinotto (University of Florence, Italy), Patrizio Patriarchi (Arcetri Observatory, Italy), NASA/ESA",{"x":388,"y":388},"https://science.nasa.gov/image-detail/hubbles-planetary-nebula-gallery-a-view-of-ngc-7009/",512,{"id":1883,"url":1884,"alt":1885,"caption":1886,"credits":1317,"fit":386,"zoom":109,"focalPoint":1887,"parallax":389,"detail_link":1888,"contentType":74,"width":1058,"height":1058},116431,"https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/jupiter-moon-transits.jpg?w=1000","Jupiter","On January 24, 2015, the Hubble Space Telescope captured a rare look at three of Jupiter's largest moons, Europa, Callisto, and Io, zipping across the banded face of the gas-giant planet.

The entire nebula is 7 light-years long. The Cone Nebula resides 2,500 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros.\n\nRadiation from hot, young stars (located beyond the top of the image) has slowly eroded the nebula over millions of years. Ultraviolet light heats the edges of the dark cloud, releasing gas into the relatively empty region of surrounding space. There, additional ultraviolet radiation causes the hydrogen gas to glow, which produces the red halo of light seen around the pillar. A similar process occurs on a much smaller scale to gas surrounding a single star, forming the bow-shaped arc seen near the upper left side of the Cone. This arc, seen previously with Hubble, is 65 times larger than the diameter of our solar system. The blue-white light from surrounding stars is reflected by dust. Background stars can be seen peeking through the evaporating tendrils of gas, while the turbulent base is pockmarked with stars reddened by dust.\n\nOver time, only the densest regions of the Cone will be left. Inside these regions, stars and planets may form.\n\nThe Cone Nebula is a cousin of the Eagle Nebula (M16) pillars, which Hubble imaged in 1995.

This dramatic Hubble Space Telescope image, showing 10 times more detail, reveals the \"ant's\" body as a pair of fiery lobes protruding from a dying, Sun-like star.\n\nThe Hubble image directly challenges old ideas about the last stages in the lives of stars. By observing Sun-like stars as they approach their deaths, the Hubble image of Mz 3 — along with pictures of other planetary nebulae — shows that our Sun's fate probably will be more interesting, complex, and striking than astronomers once imagined.\n\nThough approaching the violence of an explosion, the ejection of gas from the dying star at the center of Mz 3 has intriguing symmetrical patterns unlike the chaotic patterns expected from an ordinary explosion. Scientists using Hubble would like to understand how a spherical star can produce such prominent, non-spherical symmetries in the gas that it ejects.\n\nOne possibility is that the central star of Mz 3 has a closely orbiting companion that exerts strong gravitational tidal forces, which shape the outflowing gas. For this to work, the orbiting companion star would have to be close to the dying star, about the distance of Earth from the Sun. At that distance the orbiting companion star wouldn't be far outside the hugely bloated hulk of the dying star. It's even possible that the dying star has consumed its companion, which now orbits inside of it.\n\nA second possibility is that, as the dying star spins, its strong magnetic fields are wound up into complex shapes. Charged winds moving at speeds up to 1,000 kilometers per second from the star, much like those in our Sun's solar wind but millions of times denser, are able to follow the twisted field lines on their way out into space. These dense winds can be rendered visible by ultraviolet light from the hot central star or from highly supersonic collisions with the ambient gas that excites the material into florescence.\n\nNo other planetary nebula observed by Hubble resembles Mz 3 very closely. M2-9 comes close, but the outflow speeds in Mz 3 are up to 10 times larger than those of M2-9. Interestingly, the very massive, young star Eta Carinae shows a very similar outflow pattern.\n\nAstronomers used Hubble to observe this planetary nebula, Mz 3, in July 1997 with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. One year later, astronomers again snapped pictures of Mz 3 using slightly different filters. This intriguing image is a composite of several filters from each of the two datasets.\n\nFor more information please visit: hubblesite.org/image/1020/news_release/2001-05","NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA) Acknowledgment: R.

The nebula is in the Perseus molecular cloud, and located approximately 960 light-years away.\n\nHubble's colorful view, showcased through its unique capability to obtain images from ultraviolet to near-infrared light, unveils an effervescent cauldron of glowing gasses and pitch-black dust stirred up and blown around by several hundred newly forming stars embedded within the dark cloud. Hubble just scratches the surface because most of the star birthing firestorm is hidden behind clouds of fine dust – essentially soot – that are thicker toward the bottom of the image. The blackness in the image is not empty space, but filled with obscuring dust.\n\nTo capture this image, Hubble peered through a veil of dust on the edge of a giant cloud of cold molecular hydrogen – the raw material for fabricating new stars and planets under the relentless pull of gravity. The image underscores the fact that star formation is a messy process in our rambunctious universe.\n\nFerocious stellar winds, likely from the bright blue star at the top of the image, are blowing through a curtain of dust. The fine dust scatters the starlight at blue wavelengths.\n\nFarther down, another bright, super-hot star shines through filaments of obscuring dust, looking like the Sun shining through scattered clouds.

This is caused by pencil-thin jets shooting out from newly forming stars outside the frame of view. These stars are surrounded by circumstellar disks, which may eventually produce planetary systems, and powerful magnetic fields that direct two parallel beams of hot gas deep into space, like a double light saber from science fiction films. They sculpt patterns on the hydrogen cocoon, like laser-light-show tracings. The jets are a star's birth announcement.\n\nThis view offers an example of the time when our Sun and planets formed inside such a dusty molecular cloud, 4.6 billion years ago.

Black background dotted with stars.","\"Starry Night\", Vincent van Gogh's famous painting, is renowned for its bold whorls of light sweeping across a raging night sky. Although this image of the heavens came only from the artist's restless imagination, a new picture from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope bears remarkable similarities to the van Gogh work, complete with never-before-seen spirals of dust swirling across trillions of kilometres of interstellar space. This image, obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on February 8, 2004, is Hubble's latest view of an expanding halo of light around a distant star, named V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon). The illumination of interstellar dust comes from the red supergiant star at the middle of the image, which gave off a flashbulb-like pulse of light two years ago. V838 Mon is located about 20,000 light-years away from Earth in the direction of the constellation Monoceros, placing the star at the outer edge of our Milky Way galaxy.","NASA, the Hubble Heritage Team (AURA/STScI) and ESA",{"x":411,"y":411},"https://science.nasa.gov/image-detail/v838-monocerotis-revisited-space-phenomenon-imitates-art/",936,{"id":36,"title":36,"kind":36,"type":36,"url":168,"external":103,"target":104},{"id":36,"excerpt":63,"featuredImg":2080,"link":64,"title":8,"read_time":36,"time_ago":79,"card_type":590,"more_link":701,"custom":2082},{"id":18,"url":587,"alt":21,"caption":20,"credits":26,"fit":386,"zoom":109,"focalPoint":2081,"parallax":389,"detail_link":390,"contentType":74,"width":589,"height":24},{"x":388,"y":388},{"description":2083,"featuredImg":2084,"more_link":701,"title":224,"linkId":2092},"Your backyard telescope and binoculars may not have the capabilities of Hubble, but you can still see amazing objects.
