"Hubble Captures Stunning Image of Dwarf Galaxy in Space"

The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of UGC 8091, a dwarf irregular galaxy located 7 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. This galaxy is considered a "galactic building block" and may hold clues to the formation of larger, more structured galaxies like the Milky Way. The image reveals interstellar hydrogen molecules glowing from the light of hot stars, as well as older stars and distant galaxies. The data for the image was collected between 2006 and 2021 using Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys, requiring twelve camera filters to capture a wide range of light.

"Hubble Telescope Captures Stunning Holiday 'Snow Globe' of Stars"

NASA has released a stunning composite image resembling a snow globe or twinkling Christmas lights, featuring the billion-star-containing UGC 8091 dwarf galaxy located in the Virgo constellation, 7 million light-years away. The image was created using data captured by the Hubble Space Telescope's cameras between 2006 and 2021, showcasing interstellar hydrogen molecules as red patches and older stars as sparkles. The background also reveals distant galaxies. This festive image follows other Christmas-themed space images, including the Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster and the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A.

"Exploring the Celestial Wonders: A Holiday Globe of Stars"

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of UGC 8091, a dwarf irregular galaxy resembling a sparkling snow globe, to celebrate the holiday season. This galaxy, located around seven million light-years away in the constellation Virgo, contains around one billion stars. By examining the composition of dwarf galaxies like UGC 8091, astronomers hope to uncover the evolutionary links between ancient galaxies and more modern ones. The image was created using twelve filters to capture different wavelengths of light, revealing the diverse features of the galaxy. The data used in the image were collected from 2006 to 2021 by Hubble's advanced instruments.
