Here's a look into the star-forming region S106 assembled from image data captured by @HubbleTelescope in infrared wavelengths on Feb. 13, 2011 (PI Keith Noll). A newborn star is blasting away a space within the cloud from which it formed, 3,300 light-years away.

Here's a view of the famous Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) located 1,375 light-years away under the first star in Orion's belt. This is a color-composite made from images acquired with Hubble in wide-band infrared in Oct.-Nov. 2012. (PI Z. Levay). In optical light it appears dark.
Perfect for #Halloween here's a 1,200-mile-wide "witch's cauldron" of swirling clouds over Saturn's north pole! This was imaged in polarized light by Cassini on Nov. 27, 2012, and has been tinted to approximate some of the visible-light coloration in the area.

Based on these observations a revised shape estimate of the contact binary shows "Ultima more closely resembles a 'pancake,' and Thule a 'dented walnut.'" (NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI)
