When #NASAWebb observed the Horsehead Nebula in infrared light earlier this year, it took this sharp image of the top of the horse’s “mane,” a distinctive dust and gas structure.

The International Gemini Observatory’s twin telescopes can access the entire sky. The first two images are Gemini North in Hawaii and Gemini South in Chile. The third shows the Carina Nebula from Gemini South. Take a closer look: https://gemini.edu AURAPartners

The Tarantula Nebula is the brightest star-forming region in our galactic neighborhood and home to the hottest, most massive stars known. Its turbulent clouds of gas and dust have been observed by Hubble many times. Credit: NASA/ESA.

You’ve been seeing a lot of amazing images of distant galaxies from the Webb Space Telescope lately. But let’s give a shoutout to the original deep field! In early 1996, astronomers unveiled Hubble’s view of a region of the sky that appeared empty to ground-based observatories. Within the image were hundreds of galaxies nearly four billion times fainter than the limits of human vision.
