It’s always amazing to me that so many endangered species have the word “common” in their name. Really hammers home how quickly these conservation crises can arise. These animals were common as recently as when we were naming stuff!

Observatories, assemble! Hubble and #NASAWebb combined forces, producing this amazing view of star clusters NGC 460 and NGC 456. Hubble captures glowing, ionized gas in blue, while Webb highlights clumps and delicate filamentary dust in red. Credit: NASA, ESA. 🔭 🧪

Bluish clouds of gas have winding red lanes and filaments of dust. The clouds contain cavities filled with stars. Many more stars are both visible in the background and scattered throughout the clouds. The clouds are concentrated in the upper right and the lower middle. Tiny background galaxies are also sprinkled throughout the image. The background of space is black.
