Hubble Released Four New Images from the Archive at SXSW

To celebrate NASA's Hubble Space Telescope's 35th year in orbit, we've combed through Hubble's extensive archive of observations for new images.

Against the dark background of space, pale, misty clouds of gas and dust are liberally sprinkled with blue and pink stars. Some bright pink patches of clustered stars are visible, as are dark brown knots of dust.

Hubble’s infrared view of emission nebula Sh2-284 provides a glimpse of the brilliant young stars hidden within clouds of gas and dust.

A broad spiral galaxy seen directly face-on. It has two bright spiral arms that extend from a bar, which shines from the very center. Additional fainter arms branch off from these, studded with bright blue patches of star formation. Small, distant galaxies are dotted around it, on a dark background.

Wispy, nebulous clouds extend from the lower-left of the image. At the top and right the dark background of space can be seen through the sparse nebula. Along the left and in the corner are many layers of brightly-colored gas and dark, obscuring dust. A cluster of small, bright blue stars in the same corner expands out across the image. Many much smaller stars cover the background.
