Orbiting the Sun far beyond Neptune, "Trans-Neptunian Objects" are surviving relics from our solar system's formation. Hubble and @NASAWebb studied the color, composition, and size distribution of 27 newly discovered tiny, dim TNOs: go.nasa.gov/4xER2vL

Not just a bubble... a superbubble! With powerful stellar winds and explosive supernovae, the stars within this central "void" expelled much of the gas from which they were born, sweeping it away: go.nasa.gov/4csm7ud

A 10/10 view! 🪐 With Hubble, astronomers discovered a new "decagon" encircling Saturn's south pole. Scientists think this giant 10-sided atmospheric wave might be an entirely new type of phenomenon evolving on the gas giant: go.nasa.gov/4x1c728

NGC 1466 is known for its extremes: the mass of this star cluster is equivalent to about 140,000 Suns! Plus, its age is a whopping 13.1 billion years... almost as old as the universe itself. Learn more here: go.nasa.gov/3UxsJ4b
