The Horsehead Nebula in Infrared from Hubble
Fittingly named the Horsehead Nebula, it is embedded in the vast and complex Orion Nebula (M42). A potentially rewarding but difficult object to view personally with a small telescope, the above gorgeously detailed image was taken in 2013 in infrared light by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope in honor of the 23rd anniversary of Hubble's launch. The dark molecular cloud, roughly 1,500 light years distant, is cataloged as Barnard 33 and is seen above primarily because it is backlit by the nearby massive star Sigma Orionis .

The "ice giants" Uranus and Neptune appear to glow red-orange in new photos taken using Hawaii's Keck Observatory. The pictures show Uranus' rings and several moons, as well as Neptune's largest moon, Triton.

South Of Carina Nebula
With natal dust clouds in silhouette against glowing atomic gas, this colorful and chaotic vista lies within one of the largest star forming regions in the Milky Way galaxy, the Great Carina Nebula. The telescopic close-up frames a field of view about 80 light-years across, a little south and east of Eta Carinae, the nebula's most energetic and enigmatic star. Captured under suburban skies improved during national restrictions, a composite of narrowband image data was used to create the final image. In it, characteristic emission from the nebula's ionized sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms is mapped to red, green and blue hues, a color palette also popular in Hubble Space Telescope. The celestial landscape of bright ridges of emission bordered by cool, obscuring dust lies about 7,500 light-years away toward the southern constellation Carina.

NGC 3576 or the Ibex Nebula which looks like a celestial Ibex mountain goat with those striking horn like nebulous clouds, is situated near the Southern Cross – a four star constellation in the southern hemisphere
