A Giant Hubble Mosaic of the Crab
Nebula

The Crab Nebula is a six-light-year-wide expanding remnant of a
star's supernova explosion. Japanese and Chinese astronomers recorded
this violent event nearly 1,000 years ago in 1054, as did, almost
certainly, Native Americans. This composite image was assembled from 24
individual exposures taken with the NASA Hubble Space Telescope.>

Out of This Whirl: the Whirlpool
Galaxy (M51) and Companion Galaxy

This sharpest-ever image of the Whirlpool Galaxy, taken in
January 2005 with the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard NASA's Hubble
Space Telescope, illustrates a spiral galaxy's grand design, from its
curving spiral arms, where young stars reside, to its yellowish central
core, a home of older stars. The galaxy is nicknamed the Whirlpool
because of its swirling structure.

Hubble Sees Galaxies Galore

visible-light image of the cosmos. Called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field,
this galaxy-studded view represents a "deep" core sample of the
universe, cutting across billions of
light-years. .
