Hubble Celebrates 33rd Anniversary with Image of Star-Forming Region
Astronomers are celebrating NASA's Hubble Space Telescope's 33rd launch anniversary with an ethereal photo of a nearby star-forming region, NGC 1333. The nebula is in the Perseus molecular cloud, and located approximately 960 light-years away.Andrea Gianopoulos (NASA)

Thanks to observations from Hubble and the Keck Observatory, astronomers were able to generate a 3D model of the galaxy M87.
By tracking the motion of stars around the galaxy’s center, they determined that the galaxy is potato-shaped: https://go.nasa.gov/3MFV16L

Nope! This #HubbleClassic shows a star at the end of its life, casting off its outer layers.
The double-lobe structure was created as material funneled towards the poles of the star at the center.
