On the black background of outer space, a large, red cloud of gasses roils over most of the left half of the picture, lit by a single bright white star near the center of the image, with dozens of smaller stars dotting the whole scene.

Picture of the day. The Flaming Star Nebula, in the constellation Auriga, is about 1,500 light years away. This is just over two hours of data I collected from somewhere in northern Illinois (I think). #photography #photo #astrophotography #nightsky #night #sky #universe #stars #nebula #red

In celebration of the 31st anniversary of the launch of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers aimed the celebrated observatory at one of the brightest stars seen in our galaxy to capture its beauty.

The giant star featured in this latest Hubble Space Telescope anniversary image is waging a tug-of-war between gravity and radiation to avoid self-destruction. The star, called AG Carinae, is surrounded by an expanding shell of gas and dust. The nebula is about five light-years wide, which equals the distance from here to our nearest star, Alpha Centauri.

JWST NIRCam color image of WFI2033-4723 (GTO Program #1198; PI: Stiavelli). The F115W band is mapped to the luminosity and blue, F150W to cyan, F277W to yellow, and the F356W band to red. Near the bottom image, there is a bright spot on the lower-right side that maps back to other bluer regions of the ring, indicating it is a multiply-imaged star-forming region (SFR) contained in the z∼1.6 host. Preliminary models place the physical size at ∼150pc located ∼2kpc from the center of the galaxy (assuming flat CDM cosmology with h = 0.7 and m = 0.3).

A field of thousands of small galaxies of various shapes and colors on the black background of space. A bright, foreground star with diffraction spikes is at lower left. Near the image center, a tiny white box outlines a region and two diagonal lines lead to a box in the upper right. Within the box is a banana-shaped blob that is blueish-red in one half and distinctly red in the other half. An arrow points to the redder portion and is labeled β€œJADES GS z 14 – 0”.
