Our feathered friends are represented in the night sky as constellations named after real and imaginary birds.
This image was captured by NASA and the Hubble Space Telescope of a barred spiral galaxy, which is also known as a crane.
The Southern Birds are a constellation of stars that are 24 million light-years from our big Blue Marble. This sparkling nest of brilliant star formations is made up of a trio of bird-themed constellations.
There are the best Hubble Space Telescope images.
Beyond the Southern Birds, there are more ornithological constellations such as Aquilla, Cygnus, Corvus, and Apus.
In the swirl of violet-blue, silver-white and deep-red, Hubble's snapshots of NGC 7496 were gathered from multiple observations that explored the complex relationship between youthful stars and the cold, dense clouds of gas they were spawned within.
NASA and the European Space Agency used Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys as well as the ALMA to collect data, and 66 radio telescopes offered unprecedented views of the stars from its base of operations.
One of the project's goals is to discover more about how fast and efficient stars are formed in a wide variety of environments.
A growing amount of research material on star formation is being contributed to by this pair of powerhouse observatories.
