Detail of the nebula NGC 3372 in the Carene - Eta Carinae nebula detail - Detail of the nebula NGC 3372 near the star Eta Carinae (off field). Region of star formation. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in April 1999. The Hubble Space Telescope image reveals complex structure in the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372). The picture is dominated by a large, approximately circular feature, which is part of the Keyhole Nebula. This region, about 8000 light - years from Earth, is located adjacent to the famous explosive variable star Eta Carinae, which lies just outside the field of view towards the upper right. The Carina Nebula also contains several other stars that are among the hottest and most massive known, each about 10 times as hot, and 100 times as massive, as our Sun

Spiral galaxy NGC 5584 - Spiral galaxy NGC 5584 - NGC 5584 is located 72 million light years from Earth in the constellation Virgin. This galaxy is home to many Cepheides, variable stars used to accurately measure distances in the universe and calculate the rate of expansion of the universe. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. The brilliant, blue glow of young stars traces the graceful spiral arms of galaxy NGC 5584 in this Hubble Space Telescope image. Thin, dark dust lanes appear to be flowing from the yellowish core, where older stars reside. The reddish dots sprinkled throughout the image are largely background galaxies. Among the galaxy's myriad stars are pulsating stars called Cepheid variables and one recent Type Ia supernova, a special class of exploding stars. Astronomers use Cepheid variables and Type Ia supernovae as reliable distance markers to measure the university's expansion rate. NGC 5584 was one of eight galaxies astronomers studied to measure the university

Nebula Sh2 - 106 in the Swan - Sh2 - 106 nebula in Cygnus - Sharpless 106 (Sh2 - 106) is a star-forming region in the constellation Swan. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The bipolar star - forming region, called Sharpless 2 - 106, or S106 for short, looks like a soaring, celestial snow angel. The outstretched “” wings”” of the nebula record the contrasting imprint of heat and motion against the backdrop of a colder medium. Twin lobes of super - hot gas, glowing blue in this image, stretch outward from the central star. This hot gas creates the “” wings”” of our angel. A ring of dust and gas orbiting the star acts like a belt, cinching the expanding nebula into an “” hourglass”” shape

Galaxy System Arp 274 - Galaxy triplet Arp 274 - Arp 274 (NGC 5679) is a system of three galaxies located about 400 million years ago - light in the constellation of Virgo. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. Arp 274, also known as NGC 5679, is a system of three galaxies that appear to be partially overlapping in the image, although they may be at somewhat different distances. The spiral shapes of two of these galaxies appear mostly intact. The third galaxy (to the far left) is more compact, but shows evidence of star formation. Two of the three galaxies are forming new stars at a high rate. This is evident in the bright blue knots of star formation that are strung along the arms of the galaxy on the right and along the small galaxy on the left. The largest component is located in the middle of the three. It appears as a spiral galaxy, which may be barred. The entire system resides at about 400 million light - years away from Earth in the constellation Virgo. Hubble's Wide Fi

Elliptical galaxy NGC 1275 in Persee - Elliptical galaxy NGC 1275 in Perseus - This image obtained by the Hubble space telescope in 1995 shows a system of two colliding galaxies; in the foreground, a spiral galaxy seen almost from the edge, with many stars forming in the background, a giant, very bright elliptical galaxy, special because it has a spiral structure in its center. Its core probably houses a black hole. NGC 1275 is located about 230 million years ago - light; it belongs to the large cluster of galaxies of Persee. These images, taken with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2), show traces of spiral structure accompanied by dramatic dust lanes and bright blue regions that mark areas of active star formation. Detailed observations of NGC 1275 indicate that the dusty material belongs to a spiral system seen nearly edge - on in the foreground. The second galaxy, lying beyond the first, is actually a giant elliptical with peculiar faint spiral structure in its nucleus.

Spiral galaxy NGC 4622 in Centaurus - Spiral galaxy NGC 4622 in Centaurus - The spiral galaxy NGC 4622 is located 111 million light years ago in the southern constellation of Centaurus. The image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in May 2001 shows regions filled with new stars in blue. Astronomers have observed that, unlike other known spiral galaxies, it is the outer arms of this galaxy that rotate the whole, rotating in the same direction as the center; moreover, an inner arm of the galaxy would rotate in the opposite direction. A small galaxy absorbed by NGC 4622 could be responsible for this anomaly. NGC 4622 resides 111 million light - years away in the constellation Centaurus. The image taken in May 2001 with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 shows NGC 4622 and its outer pair of winding arms full of new stars (shown in blue). Astronomers are puzzled by the clockwise rotation because of the direction the outer spiral arms are pointing. Most spiral galaxies have arms of g

Galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) x-ray view - radio - visible - Galaxy Centaurus A in different wavelengths - false-coloured view of the 30,000-year long jet - light escaping from the nucleus of the Centaurus A galaxy where a massive black hole is suspected. On this composite image obtained in X, radio, and visible, two large X-emission arcs surround this jet over a diameter of 25,000 years - light. These hot arcs could be the result of a gigantic explosion that occurred 10 million years ago in the nucleus of the galaxy. The galaxy NGC 5128 is located about 13 million light years away from Earth. A composite X - ray (blue), radio (pink and green), and optical (orange and yellow) image of the galaxy Centaurus A presents a stunning view of a galaxy in turmoil. A broad band of dust and cold gas is bisected at an angle by opposing jets of high - energy particles blasting away from the supermassive black hole in the nucleus.

Interacting galaxies UGC 8058 - Interacting galaxies UGC 8058 - The galaxy UGC 8058 (Markarian 231) is located about 600 million light years away from Earth in the constellation Big Bear. This interacting galaxy houses a quasar in its center. It is one of the brightest ultra-bright infrared galaxy known to date. It has a central black hole and intense star formations are observed. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on May 10, 2002. The extraordinary galaxy UGC 8058, also known as Markarian 231, was discovered in 1969 as part of a survey searching for galaxies with strong ultraviolet radiation. It has long tidal tails and a disturbed shape. Results from the first spectrum showed clear signs of the presence of a powerful quasar in the center that made Markarian 231 unique in the Markarian sample. Markarian 231 has maintained its reputation as an exceptional object since those early observations and continues to be a favorite target in all wavelength regimes. Its infrared lumino

Planetary Nebula M57 (NGC 6720) in the Lyre/HST - The Hubble Space Telescope has captured the sharpest view yet of M57, the Ring Nebula in Lyra, which is the most famous of all planetary nebulae. In this image, the telescope has looked down a tunnel of gas cast off by a dying star thousands of years ago. This photo reveals elongated dark clumps of material embedded in the gas at the edge of the nebula, and the dying central star floating in a blue haze of hot gas. The nebula is about a light - year in diameter, and is located some 2,000 light - years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Lyra. The colors are approximately true colors, and represent three different chemical elements: helium (blue), oxygen (green), and nitrogen (red). 16/10/1998 1hour exhibition

Globular cluster NGC 6397 in the Altar - Stars in globular cluster NGC 6397 in Ara - Image of the center of the globular cluster NGC 6397 located 8200 years - light in the southern constellation of the Altar. The density of stars is very important, the stars are distant from each other only a few weeks light (the star closest to our Sun is four years away - light). Sometimes a collision between two stars occurs; they merge into a single, young, bright and warm star called a blue straggler; some of these stars are visible near the center of the image. This Hubble Space Telescope view of the core of one of the nearest globular star clusters, called NGC 6397, located 8,200 light - years away in the constellation Ara. The stellar density is about a million times greater than in our Sun's stellar neighborhood. The stars are only a few light - weeks apart, while the nearest star to our Sun is over four light - years away. The ancient stars are so crowded together that a few of them inevitabl

Occator Crater on Ceres - Occator Crater on Ceres: View of Occator crater in the northern hemisphere of the dwarf planet Ceres. Occator is 92 km wide and 4 km deep. Bright spots are visible, probably salt deposits. Mosaic of images taken by the Dawn probe. Occator Crater, home of Ceres' intriguing brightest areas, is 57 miles (92 kilometers) wide and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) deep. Occator displays evidence of recent geologic activity. The latest research suggests that the bright material in this crater is comprised of salts left behind after a briny liquid emerged from below, froze and then sublimated, meaning it turned from ice into vapor. Mosaic of images taken by Dawn spacecraft

Interacting Galaxies Markarian 848 - Interacting galaxies Markarian 848 - The Markarian 848 galaxy is located about 550 million light years away from Earth in the constellation Bovier. This galaxy consists of two galaxies that merge. The nuclei of each of these galaxies are still visible and are apart by 16,000 light years. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on November 13, 2001. VV 705, or Markarian 848, consists of two galaxies that seem to be embracing each other. Two long, highly curved arms of gas and stars emerge from a central region with two cores. One arm, curving clockwise, stretches to the top of the image where it makes a U - turn and interlocks with the other arm that curves up counter - clockwise from below. The two cores are 16,000 light - years apart. The pair is thought to be midway through a merger. Markarian 848 is located in the constellation of Bootes, the Bear Watcher, and is approximately 550 million light - years away from Earth. Image taken by the Hub

Interacting galaxies Markarian 533 - Interacting galaxies Markarian 533 - The galaxy NGC 7674 (Markarian 533 or Arp 182) is located about 400 million years ago - light from Earth in the constellation Pegase. It is the most important member of a group of galaxies called Hickson 96 (HCG 96). This spiral galaxy seen from the front is in interaction with other companion galaxies. It has an active core. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on June 9, 2002. NGC 7674 (seen just above the center), also known as Markarian 533, is the brightest and largest member of the so - called Hickson 96 compact group of galaxies, consisting of four galaxies. This stunning Hubble image shows a spiral galaxy nearly face - on. The central bar - shaped structure is made up of stars. The shape of NGC 7674, including the long narrow streamers seen to the left of and below the galaxy can be accounted for by tidal interactions with its companions. NGC 7674 has a powerful active nucleus of the kind known as

Nebula NGC 604 in the galaxy M33 - NGC 604 star forming nebula - NGC 604, is a very large star-forming region located in the galaxy M33 of the Triangle. This image is a composite of X-ray images (blue) obtained by the Chandra Space Telescope and visible (green and red) by the Hubble Space Telescope. The study of very hot gas observed in X-ray allows us to better understand the star formation activity within this nebula. NGC 604, is one of the largest known seething cauldrons of star birth in a nearby galaxy. NGC 604 is similar to familiar star - birth regions in our Milky Way galaxy, such as the Orion Nebula, but it is vastly larger in extent and contains many more recently formed stars. This monstrous star - birth region contains more than 200 brilliant blue stars within a cloud of glowing gases some 1,300 light - years across, nearly 100 times the size of the Orion Nebula. The bright stars in NGC 604 are extremely young having formed a mere 3 million years ago. The most massive stars

Planetary nebula NGC 6369 in Ophiuchus/HST - NGC 6369 is known to amateur astronomers as the “” Little Ghost Nebula,”” because it appears as a small, ghostly cloud surrounding the faint, dying central star. NGC 6369 lies in the direction of the constellation Ophiuchus, at a distance estimated to be between about 2,000 and 5,000 light - years from Earth. When a star with a mass similar to that of our own Sun nears the end of its lifetime, it expands in size to become a red giant. The red - giant stage ends when the star expels its outer layers into space, producing a faintly glowing nebula. Astronomers call such an object a planetary nebula, because its round shape resembles that of a planet when viewed with a small telescope. The Hubble photograph of NGC 6369, captured with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) in February 2002, reveals remarkable details of the ejection process that are not visible from ground - based telescopes because of the blurring produced by the Earth's atmo

Planetary nebula IC 4406 dans le Loup/HST - One of the most interesting features of IC 4406, the “” Retina Nebula””, is the irregular lattice of dark lanes that criss - cross the center of the nebula. These lanes are about 160 astronomical units wide (1 astronomical unit is the distance between the Earth and Sun). They are located right at the boundary between the hot glowing gas that produces the visual light imaged here and the neutral gas seen with radio telescopes. We see the lanes in silhouette because they have a density of dust and gas that is a thousand times higher than the rest of the nebula. The dust lanes are like a rather open mesh veil that has been wrapped around the bright donut. This image is a composite of data taken by Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in June 200
