Westerlund 2, a giant cluster of 3,000 stars, resides in a raucous stellar breeding ground known as Gum 29.

Located in constellation of Virgo (The Virgin), around 50 million light-years from Earth, galaxy NGC 4535 is a stunning sight to behold.

NGC 4826 is a spiral galaxy located 17 million light-years away in the constellation of Coma Berenices (Berenice’s Hair).

The 30 Doradus nebula, also widely known as the Tarantula Nebula, is approximately 170,000 light-years from Earth. 

This 100 million-year-old globular cluster is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Elliptical galaxy NGC 4660 is one of a hundred galaxies imaged by Hubble that are members of the nearest large galaxy cluster to Earth, the Virgo Cluster.
