1. In this mosaic image stretching 340 light-years across, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) displays the Tarantula Nebula star-forming region in a new light

3. A brilliant tapestry of young stars flaring to life resembles a glittering fireworks display in this Hubble Space Telescope image.

2. The mighty blue giant AG Carinae is one of the brightest stars in our Milky Way galaxy. 

4. NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) detected the blue areas (20 microns) near the center of this composite image of the Swan Nebula.

5. This image shows narrow, spindle-like structures, called filaments, that act like rivers channeling material into the Serpens South star cluster. 

6. The ring-shaped clouds around the nebula RCW 120 were detected by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope in this composite image.

7. A new composite image of the Crab Nebula features X-rays from Chandra (blue and white), optical data from Hubble (purple), and infrared data from Spitzer (pink).

8. Captured by NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, the image shows a cloud of material ejected from a star that exploded.

9. NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) detected the magnetic field streamlines shown over this image of the Keyhole Nebula. 

10. In this image, NuSTAR data, which show high-energy X-rays from radioactive material, are colored blue.
