NASA images spotlight star-forming region NGC 7129 and edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 1827 in Columba (the Dove)
Two NASA image articles highlight different celestial targets: Webb captures stellar jets in the star-forming region NGC 7129, while Hubble surveys an edge-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Columba. The pieces emphasize recent telescope imagery revealing details of stellar formation and galactic structure. 1,2
Webb’s image reveals star-forming activity in NGC 7129, showing a cauldron of cosmic creation and stars emerging from dust clouds about 3,300 light-years away. 1
Hubble’s image focuses on spiral galaxy NGC 1827, located about 37 million light-years away in Columba, illustrating an edge-on view used in a survey of hundreds of galaxies. 2
Both pieces are part of NASA’s ongoing practice of releasing telescope imagery to showcase astronomical structures and processes. 1,2

| 1 | Webb Captures Stellar Jets An image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope released on Oct. 6, 2026, reveals a cauldron of cosmic creation. Webb has unveiled numerous stars formerly hidden by clouds of dust in a stellar nursery known as NGC 7129, which resides about 3,300 light-years from Earth. Learn… | NASA news releases | |
| 2 | Spiral’s Edge This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image released on Oct. 16, 2026, features the edge-on, intermediate spiral galaxy NGC 1827, located roughly 37 million light-years away in the constellation Columba, the Dove. Hubble captured the image as part of a survey looking at 260… | NASA news releases |
