NASA shares ten mind-blowing images of space, showcasing the enchanting visuals of stars, galaxies, and nebulae in the vast expanse of space.

The Hubble view of V 372 Orionis, a bright variable star in the Orion Nebula, showcases irregular changes in luminosity and a vibrant display.

Nebula NGC 3603 hosts thousands of young stars, including massive ones, in a spiral arm galaxy. Their lifespan depends on mass, with some dying young.

Hubble captured a stunning view of NGC 3059, a barred spiral galaxy 57 million light-years away. The galaxy features a dense region of stars and gas, with a bar-shaped core.

NGC 4731, located 43 million light-years away in the Virgo constellation, is a barred spiral galaxy with a central "bar" structure, accounting for 60% of all galaxies. The galaxy's dense region and bright stars contribute to its unique appearance.

The Ghost Head Nebula, a 168,000 light-year-away star-forming region, is analyzed using Hubble's Classic view, revealing hot hydrogen and oxygen blobs within a glowing yellow cavity.

Coma Berenices, a jewel-bright spiral galaxy named after Queen Berenice II of Egypt, is 54 million light-years from Earth and features a bright core, broad spiral arms, and pink star formation spots.
