A cosmic cloudscape ☁️ This week's new #HubbleFriday image takes a look into one of our Milky Way's neighbors, the Large Magellanic Cloud. Located 160,000 light-years away, it's the largest of the Milky Way’s many small satellite galaxies: https://go.nasa.gov/3GShk8b

A ring of stars shines in the galaxy NGC 1317, about 50 million light-years away. Hubble studied this galaxy to help astronomers chart connections between vast clouds of cold gas and the stars that form within them. For more: https://go.nasa.gov/4j0y62x

NGC 5468 brings the drama. Despite being 130 million light-years away, this galaxy's face-on orientation makes it easier for Hubble to spot supernovae – the dramatic, explosive deaths of massive stars. Learn more: https://go.nasa.gov/4keCagi

Another day at the office! 🧑‍🚀 The fifth servicing mission to Hubble began #OTD in 2009. Astronauts gave Hubble new life through five spacewalks that set the telescope up for many more years of discovery. For more info: https://go.nasa.gov/3ZbpJd7

Round and round we go... In this new #HubbleFriday image, the spiral galaxy NGC 3596 shines from 90 million light-years away. From Hubble's perspective in low-Earth orbit, the galaxy appears face-on, showcasing its neatly wound spiral arms: https://go.nasa.gov/434lYra

Midnight snack gives away giant black hole! ⚫ This black hole betrayed its presence in a tidal disruption event, where a star was ripped apart and swallowed in a burst of radiation. Oddly, this black hole doesn't reside at its host galaxy's center: https://go.nasa.gov/3RUeIJq

RT by @NASAHubble: Willem de Sitter was born #OTD in 1872. He used Einstein’s relativity to show that our universe is expanding, which Edwin Hubble later confirmed. Also #OTD, @NASAHubble observed the center of our galaxy. What did Hubble see on your day? https://go.nasa.gov/4iUAyHM

At 230 million light-years away, the galaxy NGC 1706 might look lonely. But it's actually part of a "galaxy group," which means it's gravitationally bound to nearby galaxies. Find out more: https://go.nasa.gov/4d1b8qs

There's beauty in imperfection! This new #HubbleFriday view shows the skewed galaxy Arp 184, which belongs to the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. Arp 184 earned its spot due to its broad, asymmetrical, star-speckled spiral arm: https://go.nasa.gov/4jZDB2j
