Oldest Recorded Supernova: RCW 86 is approximately 8,000 light-years away. This image combines data from four space telescopes to create a multi-wavelength view of all that remains of RCW 86, the oldest documented example of a supernova.
Heart and Soul Nebulae: NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission captured this mosaic of the Heart and Soul nebulae.
The Pillars of Creation: Stretching roughly 4 to 5 light-years, the Pillars of Creation are a fascinating but relatively small feature of the entire Eagle Nebula, which spans 70 by 55 light-years.
Crowded Cluster: Messier 75 lies in our Milky Way galaxy in the constellation of Sagittarius (the Archer), around 67,000 light-years away from Earth.
Hubble’s Necklace: The “Necklace Nebula” is located 15,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagitta (the Arrow).
Hubble Messier 55: This image shows just a portion of M55, the cluster as a whole appears spherical because the stars’ intense gravitational attraction pulls them together.
CB130-3 Star-Forming Nebula: CB 130-3 is an object known as a dense core, a compact agglomeration of gas and dust.
Antennae Galaxies – NGC 4038 and NGC 4039: The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has snapped the best ever image of the Antennae Galaxies.
