It's #HubbleFriday time!

This week's new image shows the globular cluster NGC 6652. Globular clusters are roughly spherical groups of stars held together by their mutual gravitational attraction.

NGC 6652 is about 30 million light-years away: https://go.nasa.gov/3Oi5MLD

Just checking in! 👀

Hubble sometimes checks in on our galactic neighbors, like the one featured in this #HubbleFriday view.

Known as ESO 174-1, this galaxy contains a bright cloud of stars, and a faint, meandering tendril of dark gas and dust: https://go.nasa.gov/46oEnjv

Bound together ✨

Globular clusters, like the one seen in this #HubbleFriday image, are collections of tens of thousands of stars bound by their mutual gravitational attraction.

This cluster is NGC 6544, which is about 8,000 light-years away: https://go.nasa.gov/3XkhXeZ

Have a happy #HubbleFriday!

This image shows the galaxy NGC 7292, which resides about 44 million light-years away.

NGC 7292 is irregular, meaning that it lacks the distinct spiral arms or elliptical shape that some galaxies have: https://go.nasa.gov/42EDDna

Galaxy clusters are among the largest objects in the universe!

Studying them helps us learn more about the distribution of mysterious dark matter, which makes up most of a galaxy cluster's mass.
