The Horsehead Nebula in Infrared from Hubble
Fittingly named the Horsehead Nebula, it is embedded in the vast and complex Orion Nebula (M42). A potentially rewarding but difficult object to view personally with a small telescope, the above gorgeously detailed image was taken in 2013 in infrared light by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope in honor of the 23rd anniversary of Hubble's launch. The dark molecular cloud, roughly 1,500 light years distant, is cataloged as Barnard 33 and is seen above primarily because it is backlit by the nearby massive star Sigma Orionis .

Perfectly timed for Halloween, NASA is showing off a remarkable image of a ‘ghost nebula’ captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.

GLOBAL VIEW OF VENUS IN ULTRAVIOLET FROM AKATSUKI
A false-color image using two ultraviolet channels from Akatsuki's UVI camera at 283 nm and 365 nm distinguishes different components of the Venusian atmosphere.
VENUS' NIGHTSIDE GLOW
This image shows the night side of Venus in thermal infrared. It is a false-colour image using data from Akatsuki.
VENUS' SOUTH POLE IN ULTRAVIOLET FROM AKATSUKI, JUNE 20, 2016

VENUS' COUPLED DYNAMICS AND SULFUR CHEMISTRY FROM AKATSUKI, JULY 23, 2016
A false-color image using two ultraviolet channels from Akatsuki's UVI camera. Venus' cloud dynamics are just as complex as Earth's.
Note : Akatsuki is a Japanese mission launched in 2010 to orbit Venus (which it failed the first time) but successfully entered Venus' orbit on December the 7th, 2015.
EQUATORIAL REGION OF VENUS FROM AKATSUKI
Images acquired during orbit number 13 of the Japanese probe Akatsuki show an incredible amount of detail on the equatorial, tropical, and extra-tropical clouds of the planet
VENUS IN INFRARED FROM AKATSUKI: CLOUD WAVE
This view of Venus was acquired by the Japanese Akatsuki spacecraft's IR2 camera, which observes—among other things—the "warmth" of the planet's atmosphere on its nocturnal side.
