ICYMI, Hubble revealed the largest planet-forming disk around a star ever observed! It earned the name "Dracula's Chivito" as a nod to its researchers from Transylvania & Uruguay, where the national dish is a sandwich called a chivito: https://go.nasa.gov/44WNj0q

RT by @NASAHubble: Saturn knows its angles. In this image observed by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope in 2018, the giant planet’s ring system nears maximum tilt toward Earth. Hubble observed Saturn when it was about 1.36 billion miles from our home planet, nearly as close to us as it ever gets.

Hubble recently helped discover that the "wake" left behind by a companion star orbiting Betelgeuse might explain why the giant star’s brightness and atmosphere have changed in strange and unusual ways: https://go.nasa.gov/44XOXyH

Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse! ⭐ This red supergiant star is only 650 light-years away, making it large enough and close enough to be a popular source of study for scientists investigating how giant stars age, lose mass, and eventually explode in a supernova. ⬇️

Hubble found Cloud Nine! ☁️ This is a "failed galaxy": a starless, gas-rich, dark-matter cloud considered a remnant of early galaxy formation. Nicknamed “Cloud-9,” this is the first confirmed detection of such an object in the universe: https://go.nasa.gov/4svSJtm #AAS247

Hubble's sharp view shows bright stars, tinged red in color due to layers of dust in front of them. @NASAWebb's new image veers into the infrared, revealing the full population of brown dwarfs (objects that are bigger than planets, but smaller than stars) in Westerlund 2! https://go.nasa.gov/3YTLei8

New year, new stars 🌟 These stars belong to the cluster Westerlund 2, which lives inside a stellar breeding ground known as Gum 29, about 20,000 light-years away.

RT by @NASAHubble: Are these images fireworks … or star clusters in space? These space images resemble fireworks because star clusters are groups of stars that share an origin, forming at roughly the same time and location, and are tied together by gravity for millions or even billions of years.
