Hubble-X, a vibrant emission nebula in the nearby galaxy NGC 6822, glows with the light of its 4-million-year-old stars. This stellar nursery, sculpted by stellar winds and radiation, is intrinsically brighter than the Orion Nebula, despite being 1000 times farther away at 1.6 million light-years. Its size is also considerably larger, spanning 100 light-years compared to Orion's 10 light-years. The image shows the nebula's complex structure, with a prominent bright central region and fainter, extended emissions.

A stunning Hubble Space Telescope mosaic of the Orion Nebula, showcasing its vibrant colors, intricate structures, and the Trapezium star cluster. This image reveals the nebula's diverse nature, including stellar nurseries, hydrogen gas, proplyds, and high-speed stellar jets. The filamentary structures are shock waves from fast-moving material colliding with slower gas. The Orion Nebula is approximately 1500 light-years away and located in the same spiral arm of our Milky Way Galaxy as our Sun.

A deep-space image of the Trifid Nebula (M20), a vibrant and complex star-forming region. The nebula shows bright red emission areas, blue reflection zones, and dark dust lanes. The red region is roughly divided into three parts by dark clouds, giving the nebula its “trifid” name. Above and to the right, sculpted pillars and jets shaped by young stars are visible. The entire nebula spans about the size of a full moon in Earth’s sky and is surrounded by faint stars against the backdrop of the Milky Way.
