NASA shares 8 unseen images of stars

NASA’s WISE captures Zeta Ophiuchi, a hot blue star, creating a stunning bow shock amid dust clouds and glowing ribbons of light.

NGC 2467, found in the 19th century, is a large cloud of hydrogen gas in the southern constellation Puppis that serves as a birthplace for new stars.

Webb’s study of a spiral galaxy, uncovering a supermassive black hole along with dust, gas, and stars, is backed by optical data from NASAHubble.

Webb's X-rays reveal the huge MACS J0416 galaxy cluster, with hundreds of galaxies in a hot gas reservoir, highlighted by Chandra's purple X-rays.

NASA regularly shares stunning images of the universe, stars, and galaxies as its Astronomy Picture of the Day.

Webb’s infrared data reveals young stars that flare and emit X-rays, providing astronomers valuable insights into star formation at the nearby Rho Ophiuchi region.

Webb’s study of the Orion Nebula reveals the gas and dust that will form the galaxy’s next generation of stars.

The Omega Nebula, 5,500 light-years away, is a vibrant star-forming region with wave-like gas patterns lit up by ultraviolet rays from young nearby stars.

NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer telescopes captured NGC 6240, two galaxies colliding in a rare pre-merger stage, surrounded by foreground stars.

NGC 2467, discovered in the 19th century, is a huge hydrogen-rich gas cloud in the southern constellation Puppis that serves as a birthplace for new stars.
