This is the globular cluster Omega Centauri, which is composed of 10 million gravitationally bound stars. Models have long suggested that it should also contain about 10,000 stellar-mass black holes. Finally, the first one has been found! 1/2

Astronomers in the year 1054 watched closely as a supernova blazed in the sky. A millennium later, astronomers are keeping a close eye on its remnant, the Crab Nebula 🦀 as it continues to evolve! Hubble first observed the nebula in 1999. Its newest image of the Crab Nebula contains extraordinary details of its filamentary structure and the outward movement of those filaments. 1/2

Take a journey through space to the remnants of a dying star 🚀 The Cat’s Eye Nebula is an example of a planetary nebula. Named because of their round shape when viewed through early telescopes, they are actually expanding gas thrown off by stars reaching their end. It was the Cat’s Eye Nebula itself where this fact was first discovered in 1864! 1/2

Across a dying star 💀⭐ The Cat’s Eye Nebula is a planetary nebula. This type of object appeared round (planet-like!) in early telescopes, but the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a complex morphology – this is especially true of the Cat’s Eye Nebula! In this new image, Hubble captures the core of the billowing gas, its tapestry of concentric shells, and jets of high-speed gas and dense knots sculpted by shock interactions.1/2

The spiral galaxy NGC 3370 is home to some of the most useful objects in astronomy: Cepheid variable stars and Type Ia supernovae. The brightness of a Cepheid variable star can be calculated from how quickly it pulsates, while Type Ia supernovae have a consistent brightness. Measuring how bright they appear from Earth, then, makes it possible to calculate how far away they are 📏 and how far away their host galaxies are!

A scene of stellar birth! 👶⭐ This image from Hubble features a detail of the star-forming complex N159. Hot young stars are reshaping the hydrogen gas that surround them, carving out cavities and bubble-like structures! Read more here: 📷 European Space Agency / HUBBLE & NASA , R. Indebetouw, N.

This Hubble image features a small detail of N159 ✨ a star-forming complex in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Stars are beginning to shine through the cold, dark interior of the cloud. Some of them seem to lie within a reddish bubble. These bubbles are evidence of stellar feedback, in which young stars blast their surrounding with radiation and blow bubbles with their stellar winds! 🌬️ Read more here: 📷 European Space Agency / HUBBLE & NASA , R.

This glowing beauty is the barred spiral galaxy IC 486, which lies on the edge of the constellation Gemini (the Twins) 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 around 380 million light-years from Earth. The subtle variations in colour across this galaxy have been captured in this Hubble image – a pale centre dominated by older stars, bluish regions in the surrounding disc where younger stars shine, and the intense white glow of its active galactic nucleus!

This picturesque pair of galaxies, Arp 4, lies in the constellation Cetus (the Whale) 🐋 They appear to be close companions, but they are actually in a long-distance relationship… a VERY long-distance relationship. The large blue galaxy MCG-02-05-050 is 65 million light-years from Earth. Its brighter smaller companion MCG-02-05-050a, is 675 million light-years away: over ten times the distance! 1/2
