In this recently captured image of the galaxy NGC 4951 from the Hubble Space Telescope, an active galactic center is surrounded by vibrant, star-filled spiral arms.
This stunning new image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope showcases three brilliant stars illuminating the hollow cavity of a reflection nebula, creating a breathtaking visual akin to a sparkling cosmic geode.
One of these stars is IRAS 16562-3959, a star-forming region located in the Scorpius constellation of the Milky Way, approximately 5,900 light-years away from Earth.
This image, taken by the NASA Hubble Space Telescope, depicts the globular cluster NGC 2298, which is a stunning assembly of thousands of stars bound together by their shared gravitational pull.
This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope showcases Arp 122, an unusual galaxy formed by the merging of two galaxies: LEDA 59642 and the twisted, tilted spiral galaxy NGC 6040.
Known as SDSS J115331 and LEDA 2073461, these two overlapping spiral galaxies are situated more than a billion light-years from Earth and were captured in a photograph by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
The impressive giant galactic nebula NGC 3603 has been observed from various angles by the Hubble Space Telescope, showcasing different stages of the star life cycle.
In this Hubble Space Telescope image, the center is obscured by a small, dense cloud of gas and dust known as CB 130-3.
