A giant spiderweb in space? 🕸️ Not quite – this image from Hubble's 32nd year shows CW Leonis, a dying red giant star. The orange-red "cobwebs" are dusty clouds of sooty carbon, created from the outer layers of CW Leonis being thrown out into space: https://go.nasa.gov/4lD9tv6

Butterfly Nebula 🦋 Shared in Hubble's 31st year, this image shows a nebula across a broad spectrum of light – ranging from ultraviolet to near-infrared. Its shape is caused by one or more dying stars casting off their outer layers: https://go.nasa.gov/3GsLped

Arp-Madore 2026-424 has its eyes on us. 👀 This titanic head-on collision between two galaxies bears an uncanny resemblance to a ghostly face. Released in Hubble's 30th year, this image shows "eyes" that are actually each the bright core of a galaxy: https://go.nasa.gov/42N2eJH

The Squid Galaxy 🦑 This week's new #HubbleFriday view shows the galaxy Messier 77, nicknamed the Squid Galaxy for its tentacle-like spiral arms. It's a rather aquatic-themed galaxy, as it also resides within the constellation Cetus, or "the Whale": https://go.nasa.gov/4jfZTg3

The Eagle Nebula is ready to reintroduce itself. @ESA used the latest data and processing techniques to bring a stunning view of this pillar of gas and dust that's 9.5 light-years tall! As huge as this pillar is, it’s just one piece of the greater nebula: https://go.nasa.gov/4ikoQ8Y

City of stars 🌟 Messier 100 is a "grand design" spiral galaxy, meaning that its arms are clearly defined, extending outward from the galactic core. These arms are also home to several small black holes! Hubble released this image in its 29th year: https://go.nasa.gov/4jhgErs

R to @NASAHubble: Though packed with stars, the Sombrero Galaxy doesn't produce many new ones. Less than one solar mass of gas is converted into stars within the knotted, dusty disk of the galaxy each year.

Two is better than one! In a sea of stars, two bright nebulae shine in this image released during Hubble's 27th year. They're situated so that they appear to be one cloud. Together, they're called NGC 248 and are 200,000 light-years away: https://go.nasa.gov/42xt2MC
