: This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image captures incredible details in the dusty clouds of a star-forming factory called the Tarantula Nebula. Most of the nebulae Hubble images are in our galaxy, but this nebula is in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy located about 160,000 light-years away in the constellations Dorado and Mensa.

Detailed image of a dusty nebula, full of gas, dust lanes, and in a wide range of colors.

Latest formation stages (approximately from redshift z=1 to z=0) of a massive cluster of galaxies which undergoes mergers along the diagonal direction of the image.
The left panel shows the evolving baryon density, the central one the temperature (which marks shocks driven by mergers) and the right one the magnetic field intensity.

🐧🌙 In 's Westman Islands, entire families stay up all night during "puffling season" to rescue baby confused by town lights.

This century-old saves up to 7,000 pufflings each . Light disrupts the natural navigation that guides these young to sea, so the community collects lost birds in cardboard boxes and releases them from clifftops.
