Young (Universities Space Research Association/Ames Research Center), the WFC3 Science Oversight Committee, and the Hubble Heritage TeamThis nebula, located 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina, contains a central cluster of huge, hot stars called NGC 3603. The Hubble Space Telescope image was captured in August 2009 and December 2009 with the Wide Field Camera 3.
Hot Clumps Look Like Fireworks!Credit: Yves Grosdidier (University of Montreal and Observatoire de Strasbourg), Anthony Moffat (Universitie de Montreal), Gilles Joncas (Universite Laval), Agnes Acker (Observatoire de Strasbourg), and NASA/ESAThis NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope picture of the energetic star WR124 reveals it is surrounded by hot clumps of gas being ejected into space at speeds of over 150,000 kilometres per hour, somewhat resembling an aerial fireworks explosion.
Up in Smoke!Credit: NASA and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)This supernova remnant, denoted LMC N 49, within the Large Magellanic Cloud, contains delicate filaments resembling puffs of smoke and sparks trailing from expoded fireworks. They are actually sheets of debris from a stellar explosion.
Star Formation in Galaxy NGC 4214 Looks Like FireworksCredit: NASA/ESA and The Hubble Heritage Team (STScI)Newly released images obtained with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope in July 1997 reveal episodes of star formation that are occurring across the face of the nearby galaxy NGC 4214. Located some 13 million light-years from Earth, NGC 4214 is currently forming clusters of new stars from its interstellar gas and dust.
Cosmic Explosion Like Fireworks!Credit: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)In the wake of Independence Day festivities surrounding the U.S. July 4th holiday in 2006, astronomers and image processors at the Space Telescope Science Institute released the Hubble Space Telescope image of a cosmic explosion that is quite similar to fireworks on Earth. In the nearby galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud, a massive star has exploded as a supernova, and begun to dissipate its interior into a spectacular display of colorful filaments. The supernova remnant (SNR), known as "E0102" for short, is the greenish-blue shell of debris just below the center of the Hubble image.
Cassopeia A Lives On with Remnants Like FireworksCredit: NASA and The Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)Remnants of supernova Cassiopeia A illuminate the heavens like Fourth of July fireworks. The colorful streamers float across the sky in this photo exposed by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in 2000 and 2002. Cassiopeia A is the youngest known supernova remnant in our Milky Way Galaxy and resides 10,000 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia.
