These images are full of wonders to me although when I think deeply about space and the sheer vastness of it all, it does make me anxious a bit. #space #hubbleimage #hubbletelescope #spaceimage

WAKE UP BABE, THE FIRST NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF 2025 DROPPED!!!
Many mostly small, bright objects scattered over a dark background in space. In the top half on the right is an elliptical galaxy, a round light larger than the others, with a slightly warped ring of light around it. In the bottom half there is a barred spiral galaxy, big enough that we can see its bluish arms and its core in detail. Other objects include distant galaxies and nearby stars.
