Andromeda Galaxy
The Andromeda Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy with the diameter of about 46.56 kiloparsecs (152,000 light-years). Also called M31, is located in the constellation Andromeda and is best observed in November. Made up of 1-trillion stars.

Stephan’s Quintet
Stephan’s Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies, is best known for being prominently featured in the holiday classic film, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Today, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveals Stephan’s Quintet in a new light.

The Rose Galaxies
The galaxies known as the Rose shows the larger of the spiral galaxies, known as UGC 1810, has a disk that is tidally distorted into a rose-like shape by the gravitational tidal pull of the companion galaxy below it, known as UGC 1813.
65 million light-years away from Earth
The Antennae Galaxies Infrared
The galaxies — also known as NGC 4038 and NGC 4039 — are locked in a deadly embrace. Once normal, sedate spiral galaxies like the Milky Way, the pair have spent the past few hundred million years sparring with one another.

Galaxy NGC 2207 and IC 2163
Strong tidal forces from NGC 2207 have distorted the shape of IC 2163, flinging out stars and gas into long streamers stretching out a hundred thousand light-years toward the right-hand edge of the image. Located in the constellation Canis Major.
Located 180 million light-years from Earth
Taffy Galaxies — UGC 12914 and UGC 12915
The Taffy Galaxies — UGC 12914 and UGC 12915. Their twisted appearance is the result of a head-on collision that occurred about 25 million years prior to their appearance in this image. Located in the direction of the constellation Pegasus.

Sombrero Galaxy
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has trained its razor-sharp eye on one of the universe's most stately and photogenic galaxies, the Sombrero galaxy, Messier 104. This brilliant galaxy was named the Sombrero because of its resemblance to the broad rim and high-topped Mexican hat. Made up of 800-billion stars.
Located 3.5 Billion light-years from Earth
Pandora's Cluster
Astronomers unveiled the latest deep-field image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. It highlights the never-before-seen details in a bright massive region of space called Pandora's Cluster.
Located 62-million light-years from Earth
Galaxy NGC 4414
In 1995, the majestic spiral galaxy NGC 4414 was imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope as part of the HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale. The new Hubble picture shows that the central regions of this galaxy, as is typical of most spirals, contain primarily older, yellow and red stars.
Located 420 Million light-years from Earth
Tadpole galaxy
Dubbed the "Tadpole," this spiral galaxy is unlike the textbook images of stately galaxies. Its distorted shape was caused by a small interloper, a very blue, compact galaxy visible in the upper left corner of the more massive Tadpole.

Webb Ultra Deep Field Galaxies
Thousands of galaxies flood this near-infrared image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723. High-resolution imaging from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope combined with a natural effect known as gravitational lensing made this finely detailed image possible.

Cartwheel Galaxy from Webb
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has peered into the chaos of the Cartwheel Galaxy, revealing new details about star formation and the galaxy’s central black hole.
