10 wonderful images of space captured by NASA's Hubble, Webb space telescopes

NASA frequently shares stunning images captured by its James Webb and Hubble space telescopes. Let's take a look at some of them.

This amazing image of the Eagle Nebula or Messier 16 was captured by the James Webb telescope. It shows pillars of gas and dust rising like mountains.

Captured by NASA's Hubble space telescope, this amazing image shows NGC 1999, a reflection nebula in the constellation Orion. It shows a keyhole in the centre of foggy dust and smoke.

This striking image of the Butterfly Nebula, also known as NGC 6302, was captured by NASA's Hubble space telescope. It shows a butterfly-like structure formed by gas and dust in vibrant colours.

Captured by NASA's James Webb space telescope, this mesmerising image shows a tightly bound pair of actively forming stars, known as Herbig-Hardo 46/47. 

This enchanting image of a 100 million-year-old globular cluster NGS 1850 was captured by NASA's Hubble space telescope. It is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.

This astounding image of Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex in the constellation Ophiuchus was captured by NASA's James Webb space telescope. It is the closest star-forming region, about 390 light-years away from Earth.

Captured by NASA's Hubble space telescope, this spellbinding colourful image is of the Orion Nebula surrounding the luminous Herbig-Haro region where the stars are created.

This spectacular image of the protostar L1527 was taken by NASA's James Webb space telescope. It shows vibrant clouds in orange and blue colour ejecting from stellar explosions.

NASA's Hubble space telescope captured this gorgeous image of the N44 nebula. It shows hydrogen gas, dust and massive stars glowing in space.

This pretty image of the Flame Nebula was captured by NASA's Hubble space telescope. This nebula is a large star-forming region in the constellation Orion that lies about 1400 light-years from Earth.
