"Day 15 of the 2025 Space Telescope Advent Calendar: A Turbulent Lagoon."
"Back in 2018, to celebrate its 28th anniversary in space, scientists pointed the Hubble Space Telescope at the Lagoon Nebula, a roiling cloud of gas and dust about 4,000 light-years away, to capture this image, which shows just a small section of a much larger star-forming region."
"See the full advent calendar here, where a new image will be revealed each day until December 25."
Hubble captured an image in 2018 to mark its 28th anniversary in space. The image focuses on a small, turbulent section of the Lagoon Nebula, a roiling cloud of gas and dust located about 4,000 light-years away. The photographed area is part of a much larger star-forming region where new stars form amid dense gas and dust. The image is presented as Day 15 of the 2025 Space Telescope Advent Calendar. The advent calendar reveals one new space telescope image each day, with daily releases continuing through December 25.
