Esta imagen muestra tres vistas de uno de los objetos más distintivos de nuestros cielos, la nebulosa del caballo. La primera imagen (izquierda), lanzada en noviembre de 2023, presenta la nebulosa del caballo como se ve en la luz visible por el telescopio Euclides de la ESA, que tiene contribuciones de la NASA. La segunda imagen (media) muestra una vista de la nebulosa del caballo en la luz de infrarrojo cercano del telescopio Space Hubble de la NASA, que se presentó como el 23º del telescopio la imagen de aniversario
