🤩 This magical, mystical scene of a star cluster within a nebula is about 8,000 light-years away. The brightest object in the picture was once thought to be a single star with 200-300 times the mass of the Sun, but Hubble discovered that it's actually two separate stars.

Riding into orbit 👩‍🚀 On June 18, 1983—42 years ago today—astronaut Sally Ride became the first American woman to travel to space. Ride and her crewmates deployed two satellites and conducted scientific research during their six days in orbit aboard space shuttle Challenger.
