10 unseen pictures of star clusters captured by NASA

The edge of a nearby stellar nursery called NGC 3324, found at the northwest corner of the Carina Nebula, forms the “mountains” and “valleys” spanning this image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope.

Our Sun, a main sequence star, emits a strong solar flare flashes in this image captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.

The Helix nebula, imaged here, lies 650 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius. Also known as NGC 7293, it is a typical example of planetary nebulae.

The remnant of a supernova observed in 1572, notably studied by the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, lies about 13,000 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia.

This illustration depicts a red giant star, like Betelgeuse or Antares.

In this illustration, an asteroid (bottom left) breaks apart under the powerful gravity of LSPM J0207+3331, the oldest, coldest white dwarf known to be surrounded by a ring of dusty debris.

The Vela pulsar is located in the circular white dot in the center of this image captured by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory.

Our closest stellar neighbor, shown here in this Hubble image, is the red dwarf Proxima Centauri.

Brown dwarf LSRJ1835+3259, illustrated here, resides 20 light-years away in the northern constellation Lyra.
