Nebulae. These pictures were taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and are provided courtesy of the Space Telescope Science Institute. All images were imaged with the Wide-Field Planetary Camera 2 or the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS). M16: The Eagle Nebula #1.
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has revisited one of its most iconic and popular images: the Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation. This image shows the pillars as seen in visible light, capturing the multi-coloured glow of gas clouds, wispy tendrils of dark cosmic dust, and the rust-coloured elephants’ trunks of the nebula’s famous pillars.
Flip through Hubble's numerous Flickr albums and see astronauts at work in space, behind the scenes of mission operations, and Hubble's iconic images from nebulae to gravitational lens. M57, or the Ring Nebula, is a planetary nebula, the glowing remains of a sun-like star. The tiny white dot in the center of the nebula is the star’s hot core ...
These fantastical shapes, some of the universe’s most visually stunning constructions, are nebulae, clouds of gas and dust that can be the birthplace of stars, the scene of their demise – and sometimes both. Nebulae […]
Image Archive: Nebulae. Extreme star cluster bursts into life in new Hubble image. New infrared view of the Horsehead Nebula — Hubble’s 23rd anniversary image. Butterfly emerges from stellar demise in planetary nebula NGC 6302. The Eagle has risen: stellar spire in the Eagle Nebula.
This dramatic image offers a peek inside a cavern of roiling dust and gas where thousands of stars are forming. The image, taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) aboard NASA / ESA Hubble Space Telescope, represents the sharpest view ever taken of this region, called the Orion Nebula.
In this mosaic image stretching 340 light-years across, Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) displays the Tarantula Nebula star-forming region in a new light, including tens of thousands of never-before-seen young stars that were previously shrouded in cosmic dust.
These four nebulae (star-forming clouds of gas and dust) are known for their breathtaking beauty: the Eagle Nebula (which contains the Pillars of Creation), the Omega Nebula, the Trifid Nebula, and the Lagoon Nebula.
Tour Stunning Hubble Nebulae Images. Over the years, the Hubble Space Telescope has taken hundreds of images of different kinds of incredible nebulae in our universe. A nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space.
