Welcome to Hubble's Messier Marathon 2026! This annual event encourages astronomers to target cosmic objects from the Messier catalog, compiled by French astronomer Charles Messier in the 1700s. We're sharing new Hubble images of Messier objects through next weekend ⬇️

First up: Messier 10! M10 is a globular cluster, which is a roughly spherical grouping of stars held together by their mutual gravity. This cluster is about 15,000 light-years away, and can be found in the constellation Ophiuchus. go.nasa.gov/418BVff

@NASAHubble Absolutely stunning! ✨

@NASAHubble Awesome. Looking forward to it.

@NASAHubble The Messier Marathon is easily the best time of the year for space nerds! 🚀 Hubble always delivers the gold standard. I’m personally hoping for a fresh look at M31 or M42—which Messier object are you guys most excited to see?

@NASAHubble Messier's catalog, originally compiled to distinguish nebulae and clusters from comets, now fuels global events like this marathon, where participants attempt to spot all objects in a single night, blending endurance with celestial education.

@NASAHubble Messier Marathon is a great on-ramp. It turns a classic catalog into a practical observing plan for newer astronomers.

@NASAHubble Great, looking forward to what's next with the fake photos.

@NASAHubble Wow, a Messier Marathon with new Hubble images sounds incredible! What a fantastic way to explore those cosmic wonders. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing them!
