5 stunning pictures of Hubble nebulae shared by NASA

A new Hubble Space Telescope image offers the most detailed view of the Crab Nebula, which is located 6,500 light-years from Earth.

The star V830 Orionis features NGC 1999 reflection nebula, a cloud of leftover material from the star's creation.

Dense, dark clouds of gas and dust, known as Bok globules, are blocking light within the NGC 281 emission nebula, which is a region of star formation.

The Orion Nebula showcases various stages of star formation, including massive young stars and dense gas pillars nurturing new stars.

The Helix Nebula is a planetary nebula and it looks like an eye from Earth's point of view.
