In these cosmic captures, the Lion Nebula is the mane attraction 🦁 A dying star casts off its outer layers to create this intricate structure of gas and dust. Scientists think that it will disperse in about 10,000 years... which is very short, in astronomical terms. ⬇️

Some serious star power 🤩 The star cluster NGC 6791 is one of the oldest and largest open clusters known to exist. At about 10 times larger than most open clusters, it's home to roughly 10,000 stars. NGC 6791 resides about 13,300 light-years away: https://go.nasa.gov/4wV6Rhr

RT by @NASAHubble: This celestial butterfly might appear serene, but its “wings” are actually roiling cauldrons of gas heated to more than 36,000°F, spreading across space at more than 600,000 mph. You'd be able to go from Earth to the Moon in 24 minutes at that speed! #MondayMotivation

What if you could build a telescope as big as a galaxy? Turns out, the universe has already done that for us through something known as gravitational lensing. Learn more in a new e-book all about it, just in time for Book Lovers Day: https://go.nasa.gov/3TIQ4zA

RT by @NASAHubble: Dr. Nancy Grace Roman, our namesake, is sometimes called the “mother of Hubble,” but she’s really the mother of all space-based observatories! As NASA’s first chief astronomer, she supercharged space science and helped make NASA what it is today. https://www.tumblr.com/nasa/824036896675168256/meet-dr-nancy-grace-roman
