10 stunning images of space shared by NASA

AG Carinae, a brilliant blue giant in the Milky Way, shines as brightly as 1 million suns. Hubble captured its immense outburst in a recent image.

Hubble captures a dazzling scene of young stars in Westerlund 2, resembling a cosmic fireworks display. Located 20,000 light-years away in Carina, this cluster of 3,000 stars thrives in the stellar nursery Gum 29.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope reveals the Tarantula Nebula, showcasing thousands of newly visible young stars amid cosmic dust. The central region glitters with brilliant, pale blue massive stars.

SOFIA detected blue 20-micron emissions from the Swan Nebula's center, revealing heated gas by massive stars.

The image reveals filamentous structures guiding material into the Serpens South star cluster, where over 60 young stars form amidst a dense, distant gas and dust cloud 1,400 light-years away.

Spitzer's composite image of RCW 120 shows ring-shaped clouds, while SOFIA measures glowing gas in red and blue to study expansion speed and age determination of the nebula.

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope unveils the star-forming nebula W51, a major "star factory" in the Milky Way, using infrared light to penetrate interstellar dust clouds, revealing its hidden brilliance.

SOFIA detected magnetic field streamlines over the Keyhole Nebula within the Carina Nebula, as captured by the European Southern Observatory's 3.6-metre telescope on La Silla.

The Crab Nebula's new composite image combines X-rays from Chandra (blue/white), Hubble's optical data (purple), and Spitzer's infrared data (pink), showcasing its complex structure and emissions across different wavelengths.
