This NASA/ESA Hubble image of the Westerlund 2 cluster was released to mark 25 years of groundbreaking discoveries and stunning visuals in space exploration.
This visible-light image captures the nebula's glowing gas clouds, dark dust tendrils, and the rust-coloured pillars resembling elephant trunks.
NGC 3603, captured by Hubble, hosts a massive young star cluster whose hot blue stars carved a gas cavity.
The Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635), 8,000 light-years away, is captured in a stunning Hubble image released for its 26th anniversary.
This infrared image reveals the nebula's inner regions, piercing through dust to show delicate gas folds. The structure appears ethereal and fragile, unlike its visible light appearance.
This image shows bright blue young stars creating a cavity in the heart of the star-forming region N90.
This image, the largest ever taken with Hubble's WFPC2 camera, is the highest resolution view of the Crab Nebula, composed of 24 exposures.
The Lagoon Nebula, first catalogued by Giovanni Battista Hodierna in 1654, has been studied and photographed by astronomers around the world.
Hubble's latest image of V838 Monocerotis shows dramatic changes in surrounding dust structures due to a light echo. This effect, triggered by the star's sudden brightening in 2002, has revealed new dust patterns.
