Thousands of stars fill the image against black space, with a glowing, nebulous cloud of reddish pink dominating most of the lower right half of the view. NGC 261 is home to numerous stars hot enough to irradiate surrounding hydrogen gas, causing the cloud to emit a pinkish-red glow. The region contains molecular clouds, which are extremely dense and compact regions of gas and dust. Here, cradled in the cold areas of molecular hydrogen, is where most stars form. The combined power of Hubble’s instruments form a wide spectral coverage that helped capture the star-forming properties within the nebula. Image credit: NASA, ESA, and L. C.

Do you know how to take amazing Astronomy Pictures from New York?

A galactic spiral This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image treats viewers to a wonderfully detailed snapshot of the spiral galaxy NGC 3430 that lies 100 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo Minor. Several other galaxies, located relatively nearby to this one, are just beyond the frame of this image; one is close enough that gravitational interaction is driving some star formation in NGC 3430 — visible as bright-blue patches near to but outside of the galaxy’s main spiral structure. This fine example of a galactic spiral holds a bright core from which a pinwheel array of arms appears to radiate outward. Dark dust lanes and bright star-forming regions help define these spiral arms. Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, C. Kilpatrick #nasa #spaceinfo #astronomy

Ultraviolet neighbors A dark brown, cosmic cloud is studded by a collection of bluish-purple stars. Dozens of these stars are scattered throughout the scene, but they are most dense in the bottom half of the image. Other much smaller stars and galaxies, points of light in various colors, fill the background of the image. The Small Magellanic Cloud is one of the closest galaxies to our Milky Way: it's "only" 210,000 light-years away. (For comparison, the Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years across.) Nestled within the Small Magellanic Cloud is this spectacular star cluster, which is unleashing light and energy into the nebula surrounding it. This photo from our orbiting Hubble telescope combines observations of the star cluster in ultraviolet and visible light; these blazing blue stars are giving off UV rays which are then picked up by Hubble's delicate instruments. Studying this star cluster in ultraviolet is helping scientists learn how the birth of stars shapes the interstellar space around them. Credit: NASA, ESA, and C.

Ursa Major constellation - VV124 4 million light-years away An oblong smudge of stars stretches diagonally across the image from upper-left to lower-right. It holds stars in blue, orange, yellow, and white. The highest concentration of stars is near the image center and toward the lower-right. This region also holds bright, light-blue clumps of stars. Star densities taper off in all directions as you move away from the core. A number of bright, distant galaxies dot the scene, with a few shining through the galaxy. It’s relatively isolated, and because of this, astronomers are studying this galactic neighbor to try and determine if VV124 is a relatively undisturbed, older galaxy. Astronomy theories suggest that the lowest mass dwarf galaxies may have been some of the very first to form in our universe! Hubble’s incredible resolution is able to detect the individual stars within VV124, even at its densest parts. Learn more about this newly released view at the link in our bio.

Tucana Dwarf Next to the center, several stars shine against black space along with a few distant galaxies. 3 million light-years inside Tucana constellation The Tucana Dwarf resides at the far edge of the Local Group, making it one of the most remote galaxies in the Milky Way’s galactic neighborhood. As a dwarf spheroidal galaxy, it is much smaller and less luminous than most other dwarf galaxies. The Tucana Dwarf can also be used as a cosmic fossil, given its relatively isolated distribution of older stars. By examining this distant, lonely galaxy with Hubble, scientists can trace galaxy formation back to the dawn of time. Read more about the Tucana Dwarf at the link in our bio.
