This star-forming region, known for the iconic Pillars of Creation, gained fame through images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.

The Chandra telescope has detected newly-formed stars in the Orion Nebula, one of the nearest star-forming regions to Earth.

This star-forming region, located in the nearby Carina Nebula, has been nicknamed the "Cosmic Cliffs" by astronomers.

This spiral galaxy hosts a supermassive black hole at its center, where stars are rapidly forming.

WR 124 is a rare Wolf-Rayet star, a bright and massive star undergoing a brief phase in its evolutionary journey.

WASP-39 b is a tidally locked planet, with one side experiencing perpetual daylight while the other remains in constant darkness.

Since the beginning of the Chandra mission in 1999, the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant has been observed for over 2 million seconds.

The supernova explosion that created this object was first observed on Earth in February 1987

NGC 7469 is a face-on spiral galaxy that harbors a growing supermassive black hole, with Chandra revealing hot gas in its vicinity.

This new image from Webb showcases two galaxies: NGC 2936, resembling a penguin, and NGC 2937, appearing like an egg.
