The telescope is owned and operated by the University of Wisconsin, Indiana University, Yale University, and the National Optical Astronomy Observatories. *Description*: The arrow in this image, taken by a ground-based telescope, points to a distant quasar, the brilliant core of an active galaxy residing billions of light-years from Earth. As light from this faraway object travels across space, it picks up information on galaxies and the vast clouds of material between galaxies as it moves through them. The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph aboard NASA's Hubble Space Telescope decoded the quasar's light to find the spectral "fingerprints" of hi...

![[image]](/images/mediatype_image.gif) | Hubble Witnesses the Final Blaze of Glory of Sun-Like Stars - *Credit:* Howard Bond (Space Telescope Science Institute), Robin Ciardullo (Pennsylvania State University) and NASA [ http://www.nasa.gov/ ] *Description*: NGC 5307 also lies in Centaurus but is about 10,000 light-years away and has a diameter of approximately 0.6 light-year. It is an example of a planetary nebula with a pinwheel or spiral structure; each blob of gas ejected from the central star has a counterpart on the opposite side of the star.

![[image]](/images/mediatype_image.gif) | Hubble Witnesses the Final Blaze of Glory of Sun-Like Stars - *Credits:* Howard Bond (Space Telescope Science Institute), Robin Ciardullo (Pennsylvania State University) and NASA [ http://www.nasa.gov/ ] *Description*: NGC 3918 is in the constellation Centaurus and is about 3,000 light-years from us. Its diameter is about 0.3 light-year. It shows a roughly spherical outer envelope but an elongated inner balloon inflated by a fast wind from the hot central star, which is starting to break out of the spherical envelope at the top and bottom of the image.

By penetrating the dust clouds swirling around the centers of these galaxies, the telescope's infrared vision is offering fresh views of star birth. These six images, taken with the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer, showcase different views of spiral galaxies, from a face-on image of an entire galaxy to a close-up of a core...
