NASA's Hubble Telescope captures 'candy floss' in space

A bubbling region of stars both old and new lies some 160,000 light-years away in the constellation Dorado.

This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image captures the dwarf irregular galaxy UGC 4879 or VV124.

This view from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope plunges into the center of spiral galaxy Messier 33 (M33).

This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image features the nearby dwarf irregular galaxy Leo A.

A splatter of stars glows faintly at almost 3 million light-years away in this new image.

This galaxy forms stars at a rate 100 times faster than our Milky Way.
