The Pillars of Creation, seen here in mid-infrared by #NASAWebb, adds to decades of research about star formation by helping astronomers analyze the densest dusts and gases of the region, and improving the precision of their star-formation models: bit.ly/45ayCYi by @stsci.edu

The galaxy catalogued as UGC 1810 by itself, but with its collisional partner, it is known as Arp 273. The overall shape of the UGC 1810 -- in particular its blue outer ring -- is likely a result of wild and violent gravitational interactions. By @setiinstitute.bsky.social

The gruesome palette of these galaxies is owed to a mix of mid-infrared light from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and visible and ultraviolet light from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The pair grazed one another millions of years ago. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI

Messier 101.
Big, beautiful spiral galaxy M101 is one of the last entries in Charles Messier's famous catalog, but definitely not one of the least. About 170,000 light-years across, this galaxy is enormous, almost twice the size of our own Milky Way.

Terminator Moon: A Moonscape of Shadows
What's different about this Moon? It's the terminators. In the featured image, you can't directly see any terminator -- the line that divides the light of day from the dark of night.

At 160,000 light-years away, NGC 1850 shines in this image from Hubble's 33rd year.
Like most globular clusters, NGC 1850 is a spherical collection of packed stars held together by gravity. However, unlike similar clusters, its stars are younger: go.nasa.gov/3Ey8bkm by NASAhubble
