When’s the last time you took a stroll around the neighborhood? Join Hubble on a trip to meet some of our cosmic neighbors! go.nasa.gov/3Mkn5uW

Here's Webb's look at NGC 346. At left just our Near-Infrared Camera. At right, a composite: infrared (Webb + Spitzer), optical (ESO + Hubble) , and X-rays (Chandra Observatory + XMM-Newton). Fun fact, Hubble can see ultraviolet and infrared as well as visible light!

Meet NGC 346, the brightest star-forming region in the nearby Small Magellanic Cloud. This stellar work of art combines infrared light from Spitzer, visible light from the ESO’s New Technology Telescope, and X-rays from ESA XMM-Newton: go.nasa.gov/3Z35Zcy #MeetYourCosmicNeighbors

📍 NGC 261 ➡️ 200,000 light-years 🏠 Tucana constellation This emission nebula, located in the Small Magellanic Cloud, blooms a brilliant ruby red in our next #MeetYourCosmicNeighbors image! NGC 261 contains molecular clouds, where most stars form: go.nasa.gov/3Z9A4Hg

The Small Magellanic Cloud is about 14 times smaller than our Milky Way. This infrared image from our retired WISE mission highlights stars (blue and cyan) and warm dust (green and red) in this nearby dwarf galaxy: go.nasa.gov/3Z4CQxM #MeetYourCosmicNeighbors

📍 Andromeda III ➡️ 2.44 million light-years 🏠 Andromeda constellation This dwarf galaxy is a faint collection of old stars, apparently devoid of new star formation and younger stars: go.nasa.gov/4dGVAHV #MeetYourCosmicNeighbors

Our galactic neighbor Andromeda is the closest large spiral galaxy like our Milky Way. This image from our retired Spitzer telescope shows rivers of galactic dust that flow into the supermassive black hole at its center: go.nasa.gov/3XrF7St #MeetYourCosmicNeighbors

Shine bright, NGC 5033 💖 The glowing heart of this galaxy is called an active galactic nucleus. Seen at the center of this #HubbleClassic view, it's powered by a supermassive black hole and shines brightly across the whole electromagnetic spectrum: go.nasa.gov/47sL453

Mars was once wet – so what happened to its water? 💧 Hubble teamed up with the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission to find out more about how much water there was, what happened to it, and how its atoms escape into space: go.nasa.gov/3MBBbbv
