This image shows the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant. The picture is made of data from NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), the Chandra Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope. Cas A is IXPE's first observed object. A supernova explosion with some of the fastest shockwaves in the Milky Way occurred when a massive star collapsed in the Cassiopeia constellation. (Photo: NASA)

This is an image of NGC (New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars) 1999, a reflection nebula in the constellation Orion, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. The nebula appears like a 'cosmic keyhole'. When light from a star is reflected off neighbouring clouds of interstellar dust, a reflection nebula is created. The Orion Nebula is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. NGC 1999, which lies near the Orion Nebula, is around 1,350 light-years from Earth. NGC 1999 is composed of debris left over from the formation of a newborn star. (Photo: ESA/Hubble and NASA)

This is an image of the Herbig-Haro objects HH1 and HH2 captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Herbig-Haro objects are radiant regions surrounding newborn stars. These objects are formed when stellar winds or jets of gas ejected by newborn stars create shockwaves which, in turn, collide with nearby gas and dust at high speeds. Both HH1 and HH2 are present in the constellation Orion. (Photo: ESA/Hubble and NASA)

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a quasar from the early universe and a cluster of massive galaxies forming around it. The discovery is important because it will help researchers better understand how galaxy clusters in the early universe came together and formed the cosmic web or knot, a network of filaments which astronomers believe forms the basis of the universe.

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured two tails of dust ejected from the Didymos-Dimorphos asteroid system. This image shows the aftermath of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART). According to the European Space Agency (ESA), a bright blue spot is at the centre of the image, which has a black background. The central bright spot has three diffraction spikes extending from its core, and two tails of ejecta that appear as white streams of material extend out from the centre. (Photo: NASA/ESA)
