NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image showing bright blue and white stars set against a backdrop of deep crimson gas clouds.
NASA said the stars appear luminous in the frame, their blue and white coloring standing out against the red hues of the surrounding gas. The crimson cloud fills the background of the composition, creating a contrast between the stellar light and the glowing gas behind it.
According to NASA, the image was taken by Hubble, the agency's long-running space telescope. The blue and white stars are the central subjects of the photograph, while the gas cloud forms the setting around them.
NASA confirmed that the background gas takes on a distinctly crimson tone, and the stars themselves register as bright points of blue and white light within that environment. The image brings together two visually distinct elements, the sharp stellar light and the diffuse red gas, as documented by the Hubble instrument.
