Toward the Infinite:
The heavens as revealed by the Hubble Space Telescope
In this show we present a collection of the best shots from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).
Caption information (in order):
1) The Hubble Space Telescope superimposed on an image of NGC 2080, the 'Ghost Head Nebula', a star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud
2) Super-heavy stars in the Pismis 24 cluster heat gases of the surrounding nebula, NGC-6357
3) Rapid starbirth in the galaxy M82 creates a galactic stellar wind of glowing hydrogen (in white)
4) The Crab Nebula - a supernova remnant now more than 12 light years across
5) The Abell 901/902 supercluster with inferred dark matter shown as magenta-colored clumps
6) The Tarantula Nebula, a mix of very young and old stars orbiting the Milky Way 170,000 light years away
7) A tower of gas and dust 9.5 light years tall rising from the Eagle Nebula. Stars are forming inside the pillar
8) Star cluster NGC 346, an intense star-forming area of the Small Magellanic Cloud
9) Abel 2218 - a cluster of thousands of galaxies two billion light years away
