Our universe is home to unending mysteries and cosmic objects waiting to be discovered by humans. The National Aeronautics of Space Administration (NASA) keeps sharing images from space to introduce us to unique things happening light years away from Earth. Take a look at the top ten spectacular images shared by the US space agency recently.
Top 10 images shared by NASA Most of the NASA images are captured by the space agency's James Webb telescope or other highly advanced devices located in different observatories across the world or at International Space Station (ISS). Birth of new stars The bright pink gas cloud at the centre of the image, captured in near-infrared light by the NASA Webb telescope, features multiple stars. The bright pink and red diffraction spikes at the centre.
The stars are within the orange-white splotch, buried deeply in a disk of gas and dust that feeds their growth as they grow to gain mass. Explosion in CygnusA The massive explosion that occurred 5,000 to 8,000 years ago was captured in ultraviolet by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) 1,500 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. The gas and dust visible in the photo were heated by the supernova's shockwave, which still spreads outward from the original explosion.
Ghostly hand of Pulsar Nebula This is a pulsar wind nebula that resembles a ghostly hand in a composite image. NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory and the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) captured the sp.
