Hubble captured a stunningly detailed image of NGC 346, a luminous star cluster located in the Small Magellanic Cloud, approximately 210,000 light-years from Earth.

Hubble's image of NGC 1805 reveals thousands of vibrant stars densely clustered within the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Pismis 24, located within NGC 6357, is ionized by young, massive stars, forming a bubble in the surrounding gas and making the region difficult to explore.

The image merges observations from Hubble and ESO, showcasing its immense scale and the radiant glow of hydrogen and oxygen.

Hubble's image of NGC 3603 showcases a vibrant young star cluster alongside a cavity carved out of the surrounding gas and dust by intense radiation from hot blue stars.

Hubble captured a star-filled scene featuring the globular cluster ESO 520-21 (Palomar 6), located near the center of the Milky Way.

The image features WR 25 and Tr16-244, two massive stars located in the Trumpler 16 cluster of the Carina Nebula, approximately 7,500 light-years from Earth.

The Tarantula Nebula, located 170,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, is visible to the naked eye.

Hubble’s image showcases G35.2-0.7N, a region of intense high-mass star formation, where massive stars are destined to end their lives as supernovae.
