Observations of the Trifid Nebula from 1997 and 2026 are being compared, with the Hubble telescope capturing images of the nebula and its young stars. The observations are part of a larger effort to track changes in the nebula over time, with some outlets noting the Hubble's 36th anniversary. The resulting images include stunning views of the nebula, which is located nearly 5,000 light-years away.
