HAPPY 35TH BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST TELESCOPE EVER!! THANK YOU FOR GIVING US SUCH BEAUTIFUL AND ICONIC IMAGES OVER THE YEARS!!! 🌌🤩
Large orange, yellow, and red clouds of dust and gas tower in the image, interspersed with a few pink stars. Resembling a pair of butterfly wings, two lobes of a nebula stretch out from a central point, reaching to the upper right and lower left of the image. The lobes glow in pink, white, red, and orange hues, against a black background of space dotted with stars. A roughly circular nebula, glowing in bright blue near the left curve, fills most of the image. At the top left corner is a region of gold-brown gas and dust. The "bubble" has bright pink stars seen throughout and is in front of dark blue and brown regions of gas and dust. This Hubble image shows how young, energetic, massive stars illuminate and sculpt their birthplace with powerful winds and searing ultraviolet radiation. In this Hubble portrait, the giant red nebula (NGC 2014) and its smaller blue neighbor (NGC 2020) are part of a vast star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, located 163,000 light-years away. The image is nicknamed the "Cosmic Reef," because the nebulas resemble an undersea world. By contrast, the seemingly isolated blue nebula at lower left (NGC 2020) has been created by a solitary mammoth star 200,000 times brighter than our Sun. The blue gas was ejected by the star through a series of eruptive events during which it lost part of its outer envelope of material.
