ALT This graphic includes headshots of the 24 Fellows of the NASA Hubble Fellowship program. Every person's photo is within a hexagon border. Text above the photos reads "2023 NHFP Fellows" and labels three sections of headshots: "How does the universe work? Einstein Fellows", "How did we get here?" Hubble Fellows", and "Are we alone?" Sagan Fellows". Text below the photos reads "NASA Hubble Fellowship Program."
ALT At the bottom left of this vertical image are the thickest regions of brown and rusty red gas and dust. There are many layers of semi-transparent gas and dust overlaying one another. A peak rises about a third of the way from the bottom, and becomes far darker brown with two bright red, lava-like areas toward the tip. The light brown dust becomes more diaphanous about halfway up the screen. There’s a slight gap in the dust, which allows the blue background to come into view clearly. About 60% of the background in this image is set in shades of blue and littered with tiny yellow and blue stars. The brown pillars continue, taking the shape of a shoulder at the base, with three prominent columns rising out toward the upper right. The top left pillar is the largest and widest. The peaks of the second and third pillars are set off in darker shades of brown and have red outlines.
