NGC 602: Near the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy roughly 200,000 light-years from Earth, lies the young star cluster NGC 602, which is featured in this new image from the NASA James Webb Space Telescope.

Heart and Soul nebulae: NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission captured this mosaic of the Heart and Soul nebulae, located about 6,000 light-years from Earth, the nebulae form a vast star-forming complex that makes up part of the Perseus spiral arm of our Milky Way galaxy.

Celestial Fireworks: Resembling puffs of smoke and sparks from a summer fireworks display, the image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows remnant from a massive star, DEM L 190, that died in a supernova blast whose light would have reached Earth thousands of years ago.

Deep Universe: James Webb Space Telescope has captured this kaleidoscopic image of the deep universe.

Star Factory: NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured G035.20-0.74, a star-forming nebula in the constellation Aquila, the Eagle, known for producing a particular kind of massive star known as a B-Type star, which are hot, young, blue stars up to five times hotter than our Sun.

Blood-soaked eyes: Two galaxies, IC 2163 and NGC 220, appear as if blood is pumping through the top of a flesh-free face. The long, ghastly “stare” of their searing eye-like cores shines out into the supreme cosmic darkness.

Galactic Center: This panorama provides an unprecedented X-ray view above and below the center of the Milky Way.

Pillars of Creation: A breathtaking image resembling desert spires, filled with translucent gas and dust, constantly shifting, captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

Ring Nebula: Messier 57, more commonly known as the Ring Nebula, is about 2,000 light-years away in the constellation Lyra, and is best observed during August. It was discovered by French astronomer Antoine Darquier de Pellepoix in 1779.
