10 most beautiful photos of universe captured NASA – The Times of India
Feb 27, 2025NASA’s telescopes have captured some amazing photos including vibrant nebulas and distant galaxies that seem unreal to the human eye. Here are 10 photos that truly bring the universe’s awestrucking beautyCredits-InstagramThe Cat’s Eye Nebula, located 3,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Draco, is a stunning example of the detailed and colourful structures that can form in the universe.Credits-InstagramRho Ophiuchi is a star-forming region filled with nebulas, gas, and stars of different sizes and ages. Located about 390 light-years away, it’s an ideal place to study young stars.Credits-InstagramN63A, a remnant of a star 50 times more massive than the Sun, has strong stellar winds and multimillion-degree gas. The Chandra data reveal the intense energy and beauty of this supernova remnant.Credits-InstagramThe Orion Nebula, located about 1,400 light-years from Earth, contains thousands of stars and resembles a turkey in this whimsical image captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.Credits-InstagramA long-ago supernova explosion has heated interstellar material, causing it to glow in infrared and create a thermal light echo. The expanding echo is a reminder of the dynamic nature of the universe.Credits-InstagramThe WISE telescope captured this image of star-forming clouds and stellar clusters in the constellation Cygnus. Star clusters share an origin and are tied together by gravity, forming and evolving over millions or billions of years.Credits-InstagramThis rare phenomenon, known as an Einstein ring, is captured by the European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope. The gravity of an elliptical galaxy acts as a lens, magnifying a distant galaxy into a stunning ring of light.Credits-Instagram30 Doradus, a star-forming region, is captured in this image combining X-ray, optical, and radio data. This bouquet of stars captures the universe’s bright colours and the power of star formation.Credits-InstagramThis close-up image of the Crab Nebula shows the aftermath of an exploded star. The neutron star at the center spins 30 times a second, sending out pulses of radiation. The Crab Nebula is located about 6,500 light-years from Earth.Credits-InstagramPulsar wind nebulas are clouds of energetic X-ray-producing particles driven away from dead stars. This image combines X-rays from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and infrared rays from the Victor M. Blanco telescope, showing the beauty of the nebula.Credits-InstagramThanks For Reading!Read Next
