6 Most Breathtaking Space Images Captured by NASA’s Hubble Telescope

The Hubble Space Telescope has been our eye into the vast, mysterious universe for over three decades. From vibrant nebulae to distant galaxies, Hubble has captured some of the most awe-inspiring cosmic wonders ever seen.

NGC 5335

NGC 5335, a flocculent spiral galaxy, lacks defined arms, unlike the Milky Way. The image has a central bar structure, found in 30 percent of galaxies, which channels gas, fueling star formation. These bars, staying about two billion years, are dynamic features in galaxies.

NGC 1651

This image shows globular cluster NGC 1651 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, about 162,000 light-years away. Despite its modest 120-light-year diameter, it nearly fills the frame—unlike vast galaxies, often imaged similarly despite being vastly larger.

Star AU Microscopii

A young planet orbiting a volatile red dwarf star is undergoing unpredictable changes with each orbit. Its close proximity exposes it to intense energy bursts, stripping away its hydrogen atmosphere and causing the gas to escape and expand outward.

Lagoon Nebula

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shot this stunning, colorful picture of the Lagoon Nebula. By utilizing its infrared capabilities, Hubble was able to see through the dense clouds of dust and gas.

Galactic Conjunction

This picture from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope showcases a spiral galaxy NGC 105, about 215 million light-years away in Pisces. The apparent collision of NGC 5335 with another galaxy is just a visual trick, a common illusion in astronomy. It's similar to how constellations appear, where stars seem close but are actually far apart.

Terzan 4

This beautiful picture from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope reveals the sparkling stars of globular cluster Terzan 4. Globular clusters are tightly bound groups of stars held together by gravity, often containing millions. The dense, star-filled core of Terzan 4 creates a stunning and vibrant celestial display like this one.
