​From Orion Nebula to Crab Nebula: 7 mesmerising photos of Nebula captured by NASA 

When a star like the Sun runs out of fuel, it expands and its outer layers puff off, and then the core of the star shrinks.

This magnificent image from NASA’s Spitzer and Hubble Space Telescopes shows the Orion Nebula in an explosion of infrared, ultraviolet, and visible-light colors

This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region called NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula

The famous Pillars of Creation, revealing a sharper and wider view of the structures in this visible-light image. 

The Crab Nebula is an expanding remnant of a star's supernova explosion. Japanese and Chinese astronomers recorded this violent event nearly 1,000 years ago in 1054 AD, as likely did the Native Americans

Like lifting a giant veil, the near-infrared vision of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope uncovers this dazzling view deep inside the Tarantula Nebula

This is an image of MyCn18, a young planetary nebula located about 8,000 light-years away, taken with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) aboard NASA's Hubble Space Telescope
