This Hubble image shows the galaxy pair Arp-Madore 608-333. The color image is composed of near-infrared and optical observations from Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the Victor M. Blanco 4-m Telescope. Four filters were used to sample various wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues to each monochromatic image associated with an individual filter.

The unusual shape of the open cluster NGC 346 is partly due to stars and gas spiraling into the center of the cluster in a river-like motion; the red spiral superimposed on NGC 346 traces the movement of stars and gas toward the center; this spiraling motion is the most efficient way to feed star formation from the outside toward the center of the cluster.

Messier 74, a grand design spiral galaxy located 32 million light-years away in the constellation of Pisces, shines at its brightest in this combined optical/mid-infrared image, featuring Webb and Hubble data. The red colors mark dust threaded through the arms of the galaxy, lighter oranges being areas of hotter dust. The young stars throughout the arms and the nuclear core are picked out in blue. Heavier, older stars towards the galaxy’s center are shown in cyan and green, projecting a spooky glow from the core of Messier 74. Bubbles of star formation are also visible in pink across the arms.

This illustration plots changes in the brightness of Betelgeuse, following the titanic mass ejection of a large piece of its visible surface; the escaping material cooled to form a cloud of dust that temporarily made the star look dimmer, as seen from Earth; this unprecedented stellar convulsion disrupted the monster star’s 400-day-long oscillation period that astronomers had measured for more than 200 years; the interior may now be jiggling like a plate of gelatin dessert.
