Bubble Nebula. Also known as NGC 7635, this nebula is found in the constellation Cassiopeia, about 7,000 light years from Earth, and was originated by the stellar wind star SAO 20575. The image was chosen in 2016 to celebrate the 26th anniversary of the telescope.

The Tarantula Nebula. NASA published the image of this nebula in the Great Magellanic Cloud, about 170,000 light-years away, in April 2012. Its brightest sector is the most active and complex star-forming region of the 25 neighboring galaxies.
