NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer image captures Zeta Ophiuchi, a hot blue star, creating a bow shock in dust clouds, surrounded by blue stars and wispy ribbons.

NASA's Hubble and Spitzer telescopes captured an image of NGC 6240, two colliding galaxies, in a rare phase before merging into a larger galaxy, surrounded by foreground stars.

The Manatee Nebula, a supernova remnant, is a wispy cloud of blue-green filaments with a binary system of a black hole and companion star.

The image depicts the Pleiades cluster of stars, viewed through WISE's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, with glittering dots representing starlight and dusty threads representing longer wavelengths.

A dwarf irregular galaxy, a cloud of bluish gas filled with point-like stars, is surrounded by distant galaxies, four-pointed stars, and star clusters.

The image features orange-white and bluish-white stars in a black background, with light blue cloud wisps and thicker white clouds visible.
