Peer into this cosmic keyhole!

This #HubbleFriday showcases NGC 1999, a reflection nebula located 1,350 light-years from Earth. The nebula is quite literally composed of stardust: the leftover dust and gas from a newborn star! Read more: go.nasa.gov/3fiNY5G

.Hubble social media lead Elizabeth Tammi uses her creative writing skills to help bring the space telescope's images to life for her audience. 'Hubble has shaped our understanding of how we imagine the universe — visually how we think about it,' she said. 🧵

Sometimes when we look out into the shadowy depths of the cosmos, we find it looking right back! Hubble captured stunning detail in this spine-chilling cat’s eye here: go.nasa.gov/3Ay65cY #BlackCatDay #NASAHalloween

👻 In the Ghost Nebula, seen here by Hubble, hydrogen gas is being bombarded by ultraviolet radiation from a nearby star. Haunting for #NASAHalloween !

Welcome to a “starburst galaxy”! 🌟

Seen in this #HubbleClassic view, M61 earned this title due to its incredibly high rate of star formation.

M61 is located about 55 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo: go.nasa.gov/3DoOKar

These two cosmic objects bring double trouble for #HubbleFriday !

The pair of glowing clumps are Herbig-Haro objects 1,250 light-years away. They were created when jets of gas from newborn stars collided with surrounding gas and dust at breakneck speed: go.nasa.gov/3z1SD2x

New #DARTMission image just dropped!

Last month, NASA crashed a spacecraft into a non-threatening asteroid in a test of planetary defense.

This new Hubble image shows a surprising update – two tails of dust ejecting from the impacted asteroid system: go.nasa.gov/3TBEjp7

Needle’s Eye Galaxy 🪡

This #HubbleClassic view unveils a galaxy about 11 million light-years away from us.

It earned its nickname because one end of the galaxy is strangely empty of stars (not seen in this image of the starry center): go.nasa.gov/3eI55gP

What’s more beautiful than a star? A whole cluster of them!

This #HubbleFriday image shows Terzan 1, a globular cluster about 22,000 light-years away.

Globular clusters are roughly spherical groups of stars bound together by gravity: go.nasa.gov/3EExhM3

Space is for everyone!

Gotta jet! 💫

Hubble made a unique measurement indicating that a jet, plowing through space at speeds greater than 99.97% the speed of light, was propelled by the collision between two neutron stars – which are the surviving cores of big, exploded stars: go.nasa.gov/3SXX71U
