10 stunning images of space captured by NASA telescopes

NASA's various advanced telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope, James Webb Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope, have been capturing cosmic wonders of the universe for years. 

Let's take a look at 10 stunning images of space captured by NASA telescopes. 

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope captured this beautiful image of the Elephant's Trunk Nebula featuring newly formed protostars. 

Check out this marvellous image captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. It features the starry view of the open cluster BSDL 2757, surrounded by gas and dust clouds. 

Captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, this captivating image shows the star cluster Hodge 301, home to massive stars.

NASA's James Webb Telescope captured this composite image of the Tarantula Nebula featuring supernova explosion remnants and baby stars. 

This striking image taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows the Cone Nebula (NGC 2264), a giant pillar of gas and dust. 

This mesmerising image shows the Carina Nebula, home to giant stars at least 50 to 100 times the mass of our Sun. It was captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. 

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured this breathtaking image of a glittering star, RS Puppis, ten times more massive than the sun.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took this near-infrared image of the Eagle Nebula (M16) in 2014. It is located 6,500 light-years away in the constellation Serpens. ⁣

NASA's James Webb Telescope took this image of the Southern Ring planetary nebula, featuring a pair of stars. 

This gorgeous image shows the global cluster of stars called NGC 6717, which lies more than 20,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius. It was captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
