Day 4 of the 2018 Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar, one of 25 photos (eventually). A Cosmic Shroud. This Hubble image shows a compact star forming region called S106 in the constellation Cygnus, some 3,300 light years away from the Earth. A newly-formed star called S106 IR is hidden within swirls of dust at the center of the image, and is responsible for the surrounding gas cloud’s hourglass-like shape and the turbulence visible within. Light from glowing hydrogen is colored blue in this image. (NASA & ESA)

From Top 25 News Photos of 2018, one of 25 photos. A two-year-old Honduran asylum seeker cries as her mother is searched and detained near the U.S.-Mexico border on June 12, 2018, in McAllen, Texas. The asylum seekers had rafted across the Rio Grande from Mexico and were detained by U.S. Border Patrol agents. The mother set her down to allow the search to take place, and the girl immediately began screaming. Then, according to an interview with Moore by the Washington Post reporter Avi Selkan, “the woman picked up her daughter, they walked into the van, the van drove away, and Moore never saw them again.” A June 20 article from The Daily Beast says they spoke with a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesperson, who told them that this particular mother and child were not separated during processing. The photo became iconic and spread around the world as opposition rose against the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy towards undocumented immigrants which led to hundreds of families being separated at the border, despite the fact that this particular family was never separated.

Day 3 of the 2018 Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar, one of 25 photos (eventually). An Enormous Einstein Ring. At the center of this image full of various distant galaxies sits the glowing bulge of galaxy cluster SDSSJ0146-0929—a huge collection of hundreds of galaxies. The mass of this galaxy cluster is large enough to severely distort the spacetime around it, creating the odd, looping curves that almost encircle the cluster. These graceful arcs are examples of a cosmic phenomenon known as an Einstein ring, created as the light from a distant object passes by an extremely large mass. Here, the light from a background galaxy is diverted and distorted around the massive intervening cluster and forced to travel along many different light paths towards Earth, making it appear as though the galaxy is in several places at once.

Day 2 of the 2018 Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar, one of 25 photos (eventually). A Distant Whirlpool. A face-on view of spiral galaxy NGC 3344, located about 20 million light-years from Earth. This galaxy is roughly half the size of our own Milky Way galaxy, and can be seen in the constellation of Leo Minor. This composite image is made up of observations made in wavelengths from the ultraviolet to the optical and the near-infrared in February of 2018. ESA / Hubble, NASA)

Day 1 of the 2018 Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar, one of 25 photos (eventually). A Colossal and Colorful Lagoon. To celebrate its 28th anniversary in space the Hubble Space Telescope made this spectacular image of glowing clouds of interstellar gas in the Lagoon Nebula, with observations taken between February 12 and 18, 2018. The whole nebula, about 4,000 light-years away, is an incredible 55 light-years across and 20 light-years tall. This image shows only a small part of this turbulent star-formation region, about four light-years across. (NASA, ESA, STScI)

But I decided to pause and look back at myself for a better life.” (Kim Hong-Ji / Reuters)
