HUBBLE'S BUBBLE. 🌌🫧
This blue "bubble" surrounding a massive, late-stage star about 30,000 light-years away is called a Wolf-Rayet nebula.
It was created when speedy stellar winds interact with the outer layers of hydrogen that are ejected by Wolf–Rayet stars.

In 2009, NASA overlaid matching images from Hubble, Spitzer, and the Chandra X-ray Observatory to produce this incredible image highlighting each of the telescopes' different wavelength views of the center of our Milky Way galaxy.
"In this spectacular image, observations using infrared light and X-ray light see through the obscuring dust and reveal the intense activity near the galactic core. Note that the center of the galaxy is located within the bright white region to the right of and just below the middle of the image. The entire image width covers about one-half a degree, about the same angular width as the full moon." - NASA

This cosmic insight comes from one of the first studies of images captured by Nasa's new James Webb Space Telescope.

The complex, ice-covered surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa was captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft during a flyby on Sept. 29, 2022. At closest approach, the spacecraft came within a distance of about 219 miles (352 kilometers).

Supernova SN 1987A, one of the brightest stellar explosions since the invention of the telescope more than 400 years ago, is no stranger to the Hubble Space Telescope. The observatory has been on the frontline of studies into this brilliant dying star since its launch in 1990 three years after the supernova exploded on February 23, 1987. This image of Hubble's old friend, retreived from the telescope's data archive, may be the best ever of this object, and reminds us of the many mysteries still surrounding it. Dominating this picture are two glowing loops of stellar material and a very bright ring surrounding the dying star at the centre of the frame. Although Hubble has provided important clues on the nature of these structures, their origin is still largely unknown. Another mystery is that of the missing neutron star. The violent death of a high-mass star, such as SN 1987A, leaves behind a stellar remnant - a neutron star or a black hole. Astronomers expect to find a neutron star in the remnants of this supernova, but they have not yet been able to peer through the dense dust to confirm it is there. The supernova belongs to the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby galaxy about 168 000 light-years away. Even though the stellar explosion took place around 166 000 BC, its light arrived here less than 25 years ago.

Astrology enthusiasts in parts of the world gathered Tuesday to witness the last solar eclipse of the year, a phenomenon where the moon briefly casts a black shadow that blocks the sun.

Scientists released the shots Monday of the solar system's biggest planet.
The James Webb Space Telescope took the photos in July, capturing unprecedented views of Jupiter's northern and southern lights, and swirling polar haze. Jupiter's Great Red Spot, a storm big enough to swallow Earth, stands out brightly alongside countless smaller storms.
