The “Pillars of Creation”, one of the first images sent by the Hubble telescope in 1995, shows newborn stars hidden in the “pillars” of the Eagle Nebula, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Photo: NASA, ESA and the Hubble Heritage team
Known as Hubble Ultra Deep Field, this image is a snapshot of nearly 10,000 galaxies, taken in 2006. It took over 400 orbits around Earth and 800 exposures in 11.3 days to capture this image from when the universe had only 800 million of years. old, according to the Hubble telescope website.

This is a small section of the Veil Nebula, captured by the Hubble Telescope in 2015. Hubble has captured the farthest reaches of the observable universe, with the help of observations of ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light. Photo: NASA, ESA, Hubble Heritage team
The Crab Nebula is considered one of the most interesting and best-studied objects in astronomy, according to the Hubble Telescope website. The image was assembled from 24 individual exposures from the Hubble WFPC2 camera. It is the largest and most detailed image of the nebula we have.

The RS Puppis is a star clouded by thick, dark clouds of dust, which allow for a phenomenon called light echo. The light echo shows the star, an object embedded by space dust against the background of a dark sky and background galaxies, with crisp clarity.

The Hoag Object image is an unusual galaxy captured by the Hubble Telescope. It consists of a yellow core that is surrounded by a ring of hot blue stars and is slightly larger than the Milky Way galaxy. The gap between the core and the stars may contain star clusters too faint to see. Photo: NASA / ESA and The Hubble Heritage Team
UGC 2885 is a galaxy at least 2.5 times larger than the Milky Way, with at least 10 times more stars. This image was captured by the telescope in 2020.
The Messier 82 (M82) galaxy captured by the Hubble telescope in 2006 shows hydrogen leaving its central regions in crushed clouds that look like columns of flame. Young stars are born here 10 times faster than in the Milky Way. Photo: NASA, ESA and the Hubble Heritage team (STScI / AURA)
This image, of a “cosmic caterpillar” formed by a light year filled with interstellar gas and dust, is on its way to “eat” and be “eaten”. It is actually a protostar called IRAS 20324 + 4057 and is in an early evolutionary stage, gathering material from the surrounding gas envelope. The strong winds of extremely bright stars around it are “sculpting” the gas and dust in the image of a “caterpillar”. Photo: NASA, ESA, the Hubble Heritage team (STScI / AURA) and IPHAS
This is a comet, 2I / Borisov, approximately 420 million km from Earth. It is believed to come from a planetary system from another part of the galaxy, the Milky Way. Photo: NASA, ESA, D. Jewitt (UCLA)
