Recent celestial observations have brought to light several astronomical phenomena through the lens of powerful telescopes and skilled photographers. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured the vivid starburst activity in galaxy M94, which is characterized by an exceptionally high rate of star formation. Additionally, within the Carina Nebula, a molecular cloud 7500 light years from Earth and spanning two light years in width has been observed, showcasing the birth of new stars in its vicinity. The majestic spiral galaxy NGC 3370, which was imaged by Hubble 20 years ago and is located nearly 100,000 million light-years away, revealed bright, hot regions where new stars are forming. Furthermore, an Earth-based photographer, Hayata Suzuki, managed to photograph a meteor streaking across the sky with the Milky Way and Mount Fuji as a stunning backdrop.
Taken 20 years ago, this stunning #HubbleClassic image showcases a massive spiral galaxy. Named NGC 3370, this galaxy resides nearly 100,000 million light-years away. It's home to bright, hot areas of star formation seen throughout the spiral arms: https://t.co/hvWKjZN9Jx https://t.co/SIGMkBcGso

Here is a sign from heaven. 🫣 What we see here is a molecular cloud located inside the Carena Nebula, 7500 light years from Earth. It is about two light years wide. You can see a few newly formed stars nearby. Credit: HST - NASA/ESA https://t.co/0TR3lGSfYJ
We are all in desperate need of some S P A C E. Take a moment to relax with this magical view of galaxy M94 – also known as a starburst galaxy due to its exceptionally high rate of star formation – seen through the eyes of @NASAHubble: https://t.co/X7Ma6bSVI5 https://t.co/jYJRWpswiE
