Hubble Captures View of 'Mystic Mountain'
Hubble's 20th anniversary image shows a mountain of dust and gas rising in the Carina Nebula. The top of a three-light-year tall pillar of cool hydrogen is being worn away by the radiation of nearby stars, while stars within the pillar unleash jets of gas that stream from the peaks.

Cassiopeia A: Colorful, Shredded Remains of Old Supernova
This youngest-known supernova remnant in our galaxy lies 10,000 light years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. The light from this exploding star first reached Earth in the 1600s.

Rainbow Image of the Egg Nebula
An onionskin-like structure of concentric dust shells surround a central, aging star. Twin beams of light radiate from the star and illuminate the usually invisible dust. Artificial colors show how light reflects off the particles and heads toward Earth. Credit: NASA and The Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA) Acknowledgment: W. Sparks (STScI) and R. Sahai (JPL)
