Hubble Unveils a Glittering View of Sh2-284

This immense region of gas and dust is the birthing place of stars.

An elliptical galaxy (upper left) and a spiral galaxy (lower right) are connected by a stream of drawn-out gas. Two significant bright blue blobs of star formation are visible on the outskirts of the spiral galaxy, and another extends away from the center of the elliptical. A long tail is visible extending from the spiral galaxy.

Hubble Jams With A Cosmic Guitar

This dazzling pair is an ongoing merger between an elliptical galaxy and a spiral galaxy drawn together by gravity.

A spiral galaxy with one especially large sweeping, curving arm in view to the left. The galaxy's core glows golden. Pink clumps of ionized hydrogen and blue clusters of stars, along with dark dust lanes, are visible in the arms. Some of the galaxy is cut off  to the right.

Hubble Spies a Spectacular Starburst Galaxy

Sweeping spiral arms are littered with bright blue clusters of star formation.

Two bulbous, bluish clouds of gas against a field of multi-colored stars. Stars shine within the clouds as well as outside.
