This image contains six boxes with Hubble pictures. The top three boxes show distant galaxies, which are small and somewhat blurry, and lack much detail. The bottom three boxes are the same galaxies, but with the bright point of a supernova explosion. An arrow points to the supernova in each galaxy.

These are far-ultraviolet Hubble images of Mars near its farthest point from the Sun, called aphelion, on December 31, 2017...

Split image of two panels stacked vertically. In the left corner of the top image is the label Mars Corona, Hubble Space Telescope. This label pertains to both panels. In the top panel, on a black background, an orange and white orb is surrounded by a small, diffuse, grainy, orange halo. The halo appears to have more material on its left side than its right. Under the orb is the label Aphelion: December 31, 2017. In the bottom panel, on a black background, a larger orange and white orb is also surrounded by a diffuse, grainy, orange halo. This halo is wider than the one in the top panel. The halo appears to have more material on its right side than its left. Under the orb is the label Perihelion: December 19, 2016. In both panels, white, polar ice caps and some surface features are visible.

This inset image shows the location of Hubble's view within the Andromeda galaxy.

At the upper right, an image shows thousands of distant stars that crowd the view against black space. A rosy, bloomlike tendril of red nebulosity shines near the center-top. This image is connected with white lines to a lower-left view of the Andromeda galaxy, where it reaches to one of its upper spiral arms. Andromeda has a glowing, yellow core with spiral arms interlaced with dark dust and purplish star formation. White text at the top reads “M31”.

At the upper right, an image shows thousands of distant stars crowding the view against black space. Tendrils of red nebulosity bloom across the image. This image is connected with white lines to a lower-left view of the Andromeda galaxy, where it reaches to one of its upper spiral arms. Andromeda has a glowing, yellow core with spiral arms interlaced with dark dust and purplish star formation. White text at the top reads “M31”.

This inset image shows the location of NGC 261 within the Small Magellanic Cloud.

On the right, a large image of NGC 261 shows thousands of stars that fill black space, with a glowing, nebulous cloud of pink dominating most of the lower right half of the view. White lines connect this image to a wider view on the lower left, showing a diffuse, pinkish galaxy. White text above it reads “SMC - NGC 361”.

These two Hubble images of NGC 346 show the star cluster in visible and ultraviolet wavelengths of light.

Two images of NGC 346 side-by-side. The left image shows NGC 346 in visible light, with the cluster of white stars shining against blue nebulosity. The right image shows it in ultraviolet light, with a grouping of large, glowing, and purplish stars dominating the image’s center. Dark ridges of gas and dust are visible around them, with more background stars crowding the view. White text above both images reads “SMC - NGC 346”.

This inset image shows where N11 is located within the Large Magellanic Cloud.

$The bottom half of the image shows N11. Glowing clouds of pink and red gas and dust fill the image, along with several stars – foreground stars shine with diffraction spikes, and more distant stars fill the background. Above it to the right, a smaller image shows a starry region of space with orange tendrils of gas and dust with a white rectangle designating the portion that shows N11. To its left, another small image shows a wide view of a diffuse galaxy with a white rectangle designating the portion that shows N11. To its left, white text reads “LMC - N11”.$

The Tucana Dwarf galaxy resides about 3 million light-years away, at the far edge of our Local Group of galaxies.

More closely concentrated near the center, several stars shine against black space along with a few distant galaxies.

NGC 261 is located within one of the Milky Way’s closest galactic companions, the Small Magellanic Cloud.

NGC 346 is nestled within the Small Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy to our Milky Way.

A grouping of large, glowing, and purplish stars dominate the image’s center. Dark ridges of gas and dust are visible around them, with more background stars crowding the view.

This Hubble image shows a complex cluster of emission nebulae, nestled within the Large Magellanic Cloud.

$Glowing clouds of pink and red gas and dust fill the image, along with several stars – foreground stars shine with diffraction spikes, and more distant stars fill the background.$

The galaxy Leo A resides about 2.6 million light-years away.

$A black background dotted with stars and distant galaxies. The distribution of stars increases toward image center, forming the loose oval shape of the irregular galaxy Leo A that stretches horizontally across the image. Three foreground stars shine brightly – one located at center-top, and two others in the lower-right quadrant of the image. Each holds four bright barbs (called diffraction spikes) that extend outward from the star.$
