NGC 3507 takes centerstage in this week's new #HubbleFriday view! It's classified as a "barred" spiral galaxy because its arms emerge from the ends of a central bar of stars rather than the central core of the galaxy. Keep reading: go.nasa.gov/43EV9Ky

For decades, astronomers believed that one day, our Milky Way Galaxy would collide with our nearest major galactic neighbor, Andromeda. Now, with the latest Hubble data and computer simulations, our galaxy's fate isn't as certain: go.nasa.gov/4kN9Kul

📍 NGC 1385 This Hubble view shows a gorgeous galaxy about 30 million light-years away. Hubble holds a range of filters – several of which were used to build this image. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4jwl8JS

NGC 4237 is classified as a "flocculent" spiral galaxy. This means its spiral arms look sort of fluffy! They're patchy and almost indistinguishable from each other. Learn more about this 2020 image: go.nasa.gov/3FHaNwQ

A starry spectacle ✨ This new #HubbleFriday view shows the galaxy NGC 685. Located about 64 million light-years away, it was studied by Hubble for two observing programs, both focused on star formation: go.nasa.gov/4jD1MTo

Spirals within a spiral 🌀 This 2020 Hubble image features galaxy NGC 2273, which has a "multiring" structure. Rings are created when a galaxy’s spiral arms appear to loop around to nearly close in on each another, combined with a trick of perspective: go.nasa.gov/4kZMwkP

Shining serenely in this new #HubbleFriday view, IC 758 might look calm – but it hides a cataclysmic past. Researchers are using Hubble to gather clues about a previous supernova explosion in this galaxy: go.nasa.gov/43JTlkE

🤩 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.

Speckled with young, blue stars, the spiral galaxy NGC 4100 stretches across this Hubble image. This view was captured with the Advanced Camera for Surveys, which was installed during an astronaut servicing mission in 2002: go.nasa.gov/43MW6So

Pretty in pink 🎀 Despite its relatively small size, the dwarf galaxy NGC 4449 forms stars at a much faster rate than expected. The bright pink patches throughout show star-forming regions! Find out more on this #HubbleFriday view: go.nasa.gov/4e8bHiG

“The first thing I think about when approaching a potential new story is by asking the question: ‘Would a fifth grader think this story is awesome?’ Black holes, giant explosions, stars dying…if the story is there then the imagery will be there too."

What a tangled web NGC 4696 weaves. The dark red filaments of gas and dust appear to be connected to the galaxy's core, where a supermassive black hole likely lurks. For more on this 2016 image: go.nasa.gov/44kYJdf

A cosmic weigh-in 💪 Hubble observations, like the ones captured for this new #HubbleFriday view of UGC 11397, will help scientists weigh nearby supermassive black holes, and understand how black holes grew early in the universe’s history: go.nasa.gov/44KIRkv

Eagle’s wings or galaxy 🦅? This is IRAS 16399-0937, a galaxy hosting a double nucleus that is enshrouded in wings of dust clouds. The nuclei are two distinct cores in the process of merging, which intensely radiates energy: go.nasa.gov/44o7SSc

Happy #FourthOfJuly from Hubble! 🇺🇸 Stars shine red, white, and blue in this new Hubble image of globular cluster ESO 591-12. Hotter stars are bluer, giving off shorter wavelengths of light, and red stars are cooler, emitting longer wavelengths: go.nasa.gov/4khuvhb
