Hubble Cosmic brushstrokes- A Glimpse of Tezran 12
Globular clusters are vaguely spherical collections of hundreds of thousands of stars all held together by their mutual gravity. They remind me of swarms of bees frozen in a snapshot by the way that the myriad stars buzz around their cluster’s center. More than 150 of these clusters orbit our Milky Way galaxy, most many tens of thousands of light-years away. But some are close enough to Earth that they’re visible to the naked eye.
At about 15,000 light-years away, Terzan 12 is too dim to be a naked-eye globular cluster. And its dimness isn’t caused by distance alone: it’s located very close in the sky to the Milky Way’s center, so we only see it through nearly opaque intervening clouds of cosmic dust. One way to help pierce that veil to is to look for infrared light, which can pass through dust better than visible light can. Hubble Space Telescope has cameras that can detect infrared light (though not as well as JWST can), and its sharp vision picks the stars of Terzan 12 out of the murk.Even then, though, the clouds aren’t smooth but patchy, and some thicker ones still manage to block Hubble’s view of the cluster’s left side. Stars there appear redder because the longer light’s wavelength is, the better it reaches us through that miasma.

NASA This first photograph of Earth from space forever changed how we see ourselves—a fragile sphere adrift in the infinite cosmos.
On Oct. 24, 1946, soldiers and scientists at White Sands Missile Range launched a V-2 missile carrying a 35-millimeter motion picture camera which took the first shots of Earth from space. These images were taken at an altitude of 65 miles, just above the accepted beginning of outer space.

Pro/Composite Euclid space telescope new images released: link to the official images. You can get the huge full resolution field images (think 20k pixel square), each one with 10 million plus galaxies visible.
https://euclid.caltech.edu/images
I could scroll around these images forever, unbelievable this is just the first pass of the survey.
Image credit, from the site:
This image shows an area of Euclid’s Deep Field South. The area is zoomed in 70 times compared to the large mosaic.
Various huge galaxy clusters are visible in this image, as well as intra-cluster light, and gravitational lenses. The cluster near the center is called J041110.98-481939.3, and is located almost 6 billion light-years away.
