The 17th-anniversary celebration featured a panorama of part of the Carina Nebula, and a collection of images selected from that area. [4]In its 17 years of exploring the heavens, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has made nearly 800,000 observations and snapped nearly 500,000 images of more than 25,000 celestial objects.

NASA’s Webb Space Telescope has revealed the sharpest images yet of a portion of a horse-shaped nebula, showing the “mane” in finer detail. The Horsehead Nebula, in the constellation Orion ...
It is associated with a dark cloud L1450 (Barnard 205). Estimates of the distance to this nebula range from 980–1,140 ly (300–350 pc). [4] This nebula is in the western part [4] of the Perseus molecular cloud and is a young region of very active star formation, [6] being one of the best-studied objects of its type. [4]
This nebula was also observed by Johann Baptist Cysat in 1618. However, the first detailed study of the Orion Nebula was not performed until 1659 by Christiaan Huygens, who also believed he was the first person to discover this nebulosity. [11] In 1715, Edmond Halley published a list of six nebulae.
NGC 6302 (also known as the Bug Nebula, Butterfly Nebula, or Caldwell 69) is a bipolar planetary nebula in the constellation Scorpius.The structure in the nebula is among the most complex ever seen in planetary nebulae.
NGC 6357 is a diffuse nebula near NGC 6334 in the constellation Scorpius.The nebula contains many proto-stars shielded by dark discs of gas, and young stars wrapped in expanding "cocoons" or expanding gases surrounding these small stars.
