The enormous elliptical galaxy ESO 306-17 stretches a million light-years across – ten times the size of our home galaxy, the Milky Way! It has attracted and absorbed smaller galaxies that once surrounded it, too. For more on this #HubbleClassic view: go.nasa.gov/3QpArbE

The Wolf-Rayet nebula is formed by the interaction of fast stellar winds with hydrogen layers ejected from a massive star. Learn more about this #HubbleClassic at the link!
A blue "bubble" surrounds a massive, late-stage star. A Wolf-Rayet nebula, created when speedy stellar winds interacted with the outer layers of hydrogen ejected from the star. For more on this #HubbleClassic: go.nasa.gov/44abHKc (📷 @NASAHubble)
Hubble's bubble! 🫧 This blue "bubble" surrounding a massive, late-stage star is called a Wolf-Rayet nebula. It was created when speedy stellar winds interacted with the outer layers of hydrogen ejected from the star! For more on this #HubbleClassic: go.nasa.gov/44abHKc
Ta niebieska „bąbelka” otaczająca masywną gwiazdę w późnym stadium nazywana jest mgławicą Wolfa-Rayeta. Powstała w wyniku interakcji szybkich wiatrów gwiazdowych z zewnętrznymi warstwami wodoru wyrzucanego z gwiazdy. Więcej na ten temat #HubbleClassic : go.nasa.gov/44abHKc

@N0m0repain The Bok globule highlighted in this #HubbleClassic image is significant for understanding star formation in the universe. Compared to dust bunnies in homes, this dense concentration of gas and dust is much larger and plays a crucial role in cosmic processes.
