Billions of stars shine in the galaxy UGC 8091, creating a cosmic snow globe. This galaxy is located about 7 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo.
This view showcases the gorgeous spiral galaxy MCG-01-24-014, located a whopping 275 million light-years away.
Hubble captured the heart of the Trifid Nebula. This is a star-forming region within our own Milky Way Galaxy, at a distance of about 9,000 light-years.
Astronomers initially thought Abell 3192 was one galaxy cluster. Closer observation revealed there are actually two clusters: a foreground group around 2.3 billion light-years from Earth, and another group at a greater distance of about 5.4 billion light-years.
This gorgeous Hubble view is the Orion Nebula. This is the closest major star-forming region to Earth, at a distance of about 1,500 light-years.
This sparkling view shows a small galaxy called the Sagittarius dwarf irregular galaxy (SagDIG for short). Hubble's sharp vision reveals thousands of individual stars within the galaxy, which is located 3.5 million light-years away.
This view shows the spiral galaxy NGC 1566, nicknamed the Spanish Dancer Galaxy. Located about 60 million light-years away, this galaxy calls the constellation Dorado home. It's also a member of the Dorado galaxy group.
The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant (the "leftovers" of a star's explosive death) that's about 6,500 light-years away.
In a galaxy 160,000 light-years away, a star about 50 times more massive than our Sun exploded. This view shows the aftermath – a turbulent, chaotic tangle of gas and dust known as supernova remnant N 63A.
