This Hubble image captures the barred spiral galaxy UGC 12158, with bright blue stars forming a pinwheel shape around a yellow-white central hub, and an asteroid streaking across the top. 

The image shows a face-on spiral galaxy with a bright center and tightly wound arms, surrounded by faraway galaxies and bright stars on a dark background, including one star with long diffraction spikes. 

M74 is a grand-design spiral galaxy with symmetrical arms, dust lanes, young blue star clusters, and glowing pink regions of ionized hydrogen. 

The image features a dark, dusty galaxy with a bright white core, a spiral arm with black dust and glowing orange starbirth regions, distant stars, and more starbirth areas near the top right corner. 

The image displays a nearly face-on spiral galaxy with tight arms, reddish dust, glowing star patches on the left, and a large dark gas cloud partially obscuring the center and right side. 

Welcome to Liller 1, a globular cluster located 30,000 light-years away, boasting two populations of stars with remarkably different ages, ranging from 1 to 12 billion years old. 

The image is filled with intricate clouds of dark brown dust in the lower portions, glowing green and blue gas throughout, and pink stars scattered across. 

A large spiral galaxy with colorful dust is accompanied by a smaller neighboring galaxy, with a long, faint tail of stars and distant galaxies visible in the background. 

Against glowing red clouds speckled with stars, a dark brown and opaque knot of gas and dust stretches vertically across the image. 

The image displays various small galaxies against a black background, with a prominent dwarf irregular galaxy hosting a bright core of white and blue stars surrounded by blue dusty filaments. 

The image features a spherical cluster of stars with a bright, bluish core, surrounded by a sparse band of stars, some with visible diffraction spikes, against a dark black background. 

The image depicts a wreath-like structure of orange, beige, brown, and green clouds surrounding a dark cavity filled with sparkling blue stars, with more stars on the right side.
