You can't burst this bubble. 🫧 The Bubble Nebula is located about 7,100 light-years away. The big "bubble" is material shedding off a star at its center! The star is about 4 million years old, and in 10-20 million years it will likely detonate in a supernova explosion.

Happy #HubbleFriday! 💫 The end of the week means a new Hubble image, and this view shows a spectacular spiral galaxy called IC 4709, located about 240 million light-years away. Find out more about this stellar sight: https://go.nasa.gov/47fiRyi

Mars was once wet – so what happened to its water? 💧 Hubble teamed up with the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission to find out more about how much water there was, what happened to it, and how its atoms escape into space: https://go.nasa.gov/3MBBbbv

R to @NASAHubble: Here's how scientists represented Hubble data: A low drone signals the core of NGC 6872, while higher, brighter sounds represent the extended spiral arms. Low plucked sounds sound for the background galaxies, and foreground stars were assigned cymbals.

A symphony of space! 🎵 This sonification of the galaxy NGC 6872 translates data from @chandraxray and Hubble into music. Volume is mapped to brightness, and the pitch is related to the distance from the center; the farther away, the higher the pitch: https://go.nasa.gov/3XbBU8a

Shine bright, NGC 5033 💖 The glowing heart of this galaxy is called an active galactic nucleus. Seen at the center of this #HubbleClassic view, it's powered by a supermassive black hole and shines brightly across the whole electromagnetic spectrum: https://go.nasa.gov/47sL453
