Check out the most wondrous, magical, and fascinating Hubble images released in May 2022!

IN SPACE - MARCH 3: (FILE PHOTO) In this image released by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Hubble Space Telescope is backdropped against black space as the Space Shuttle Columbia, with a crew of seven astronauts on board, eases closer March 3, 2002 in order to latch its 50-foot-long robotic arm onto a fixture on the giant telescope.
Named after the trailblazing astronomer Edwin Hubble, the Hubble Space Telescope has been capturing wonders in space ever since it was launched and deployed by the space shuttle Discovery in 1990.
While everyone on Earth can merely look at stars in the night sky, the Hubble can look beyond the bounds of space and time. The large space observatory can look at the universe through a crystal-clear lens, and astronomers have used it to peer through the planets in our solar system and the most distant galaxies and stars in the universe.
The month of May saw no shortage of gorgeous snapshots from space released by NASA. Here are some of the best images that were released last month!

Glittering Starburst Display

Millions of blindingly bright stars are gathered in this image as if trying to outshine one another. This grouping of stars is a globular cluster known as NGC 6558, 23,000 light-years away from Earth.
A Majestic Whirlpool Galaxy

The gracefully curving arms of the majestic spiral galaxy "M51" appears like a giant spiral staircase leading you to the heart of space.
These arms are long lanes of stars and gas entwined with dust, and they are a signature of so-called "grand-design spiral galaxies."
Birth of A Star Flowing Between Four Galaxies

This "river of star formation" image, as NASA termed it, is one of the telescope's most fascinating archives as it highlights a galactic dance between four dwarf galaxies within the Hickson Compact Group 31 (HGC 31).
Needle's Eye

Hubble peered deep into the eye of a galactic needle as it displayed the wonders and mysteries of a dwarf spiral galaxy.
Colorful Swirl Falling Into A Black Hole

This magical photo highlights a colorful swirl winding towards the Milky Way's black hole
Gorgeous Pair of Star-Forming Galaxies

In this photo, Hubble encountered a gorgeous pair of two spiral galaxies, collectively known as Arp 303. The pair glows with a mystic blue aura as they form millions of new stars.
Haunting Galactic Dance

These two galaxies are interacting in a haunting gravitational dance since both of them are connected with the remnants of a cannibalized galaxy!
