Hubble’s Nebulae

A Collection of Hubble Nebula Images

In this image, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured two nebulae, situated so they appear as one. They reside in the...
The center of the image displays a combination of two nebulas, red clouds of gas and dust, that are close to each other. On the left and right is a massive number of stars and galaxies, which appear as red, green, and blue dots. The brightest stars have plus-sign-shaped diffraction spikes.
This Hubble image shows the central region of the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The young and dense...
A colorful white, orange, and brown and dust cloud with a bright blue star cluster near the bottom.
This image shows in stunning detail a small section of the expanding remains of a massive star that exploded about...
A colorful rainbow chain of gas and dust stretches across the image from the lower left corner to the upper right.
The brilliant tapestry of young stars flaring to life resembles a glittering fireworks display in this Hubble Space Telescope image....
A combination of yellow, brown, red, and blue/violet colored gas intermixed with blue and yellow stars.
Though this towering structure of billowing gas and dark, obscuring dust is only a small portion of the Eagle Nebula...
A tall, thin structure of dark gas clouds. This pillar is darker and broader at its base, thins toward the middle, and broadens out again at the top, with spikes, fingers, and wisps of gas protruding in all directions from its head. Some parts of the pillar are illuminated, but most are dark and silhouetted at the edges and lit from behind. A wall of colorful gas lies behind the pillar, bluish at the top and redder toward the bottom, with several blue and gold stars scattered across it.
This is a Hubble Space Telescope photo of a small portion of the Rosette Nebula, a huge star-forming region spanning...
A tiny portion of the Rosette Nebula. Very dark gray material shaped like a triangle or shark fin extends from just below top left all the way down to the lower right corner and back up toward the top right.
In this new image, Hubble captures the very core of the billowing gas with the High Resolution Channel sub-instrument on...
An image of the center of a planetary nebula. A blue star sits at the center within a series of overlapping, translucent bubbles of gas. The bubbles have a complex, filamentary structure. The two largest bubbles overlap halfway, creating an eye-like shape with the star at the center. Jets of high-speed gas point out of the top and bottom of the nebula. Faint, concentric circles of gas also surround the star, out beyond the bubbles.
