This image features a portion of M55. The cluster looks spherical as a whole because the stars’ gravitational attraction pulls them together. (NASA, ESA, A. Sarajedini (Florida Atlantic University), and M. Libralato (STScI, ESA, JWST))

This picture from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features “spirals of dust swirling across trillions of kilometres of interstellar space,” according to NASA. Obtained on February 8, 2004, the image features a “view of an expanding halo of light around a distant star, named V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon)” (NASA, the Hubble Heritage Team (AURA/STScI) and ESA)

This image, captured by Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3, features the galaxy Caldwell 45. NASA says that the bluish color swirling around the centre “indicates the presence of young, hot stars in Caldwell 45’s spiral arms” (NASA, ESA, and J. Lee (California Institute of Technology)

This image features filaments of gas and dust left behind by an exploded star making up the Crab Nebula. The blue glow in the centre of the supernova remnant is emitted by the remains of the star, a pulsar (NASA, ESA, J. Hester and A. Loll (Arizona State University))
