🌌✨ *Hubble Captures “Cotton Candy Clouds” in Deep Space!* ✨🌌 📸 Credit: NASA What looks like soft pink and blue cotton candy floating in space is actually a stunning region filled with newborn stars, glowing cosmic gas, and swirling interstellar dust. This magnificent image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope shows NGC 248, a stellar nursery located about 200,000 light-years away in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy near the Milky Way. ☁️ These "clouds" are ionized hydrogen gas, energized by young, massive stars. The pastel colors come from the light emitted and scattered by different gases—much like sunlight makes our sunsets glow pink and orange. 🔭 This image isn't just beautiful—it's a scientific window into how stars are born and evolve over millions of years. 💫 The universe isn’t just vast—it’s breathtakingly artistic.
