Galaxies are the visible foundation of the universe; each one a collection of stars, planets, gas, dust, and dark matter held together by gravity. Hubble’s observations give us insight into… Continue reading 75-Hubble’s Field Guide to Galaxies
Hubble's launch and deployment in April 1990 marked the most significant advance in astronomy since Galileo's telescope. Thanks to five servicing missions and more than 30 years of operation, our… Continue reading 76-Hubble: Not Yet Imagined
The Hubble Space Telescope celebrated its 32nd year in orbit by premiering a stunning new Hubble image of a collection of five galaxies, known as Hickson Compact Group 40. Even… Continue reading 77-Hubble’s 32nd Year in Orbit
NASA is celebrating the Hubble Space Telescope’s 32nd birthday with a stunning look at five galaxies, a close-knit collection called the Hickson Compact Group 40. This amazing assembly includes a… Continue reading 78-Hubble’s 32nd Anniversary: An Eclectic Galaxy Grouping
This diagram compares the size of the icy, solid nucleus of comet C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein) to several other comets. The majority of comet nuclei observed are smaller than Halley’s comet.… Continue reading 79-Hubble Confirms Largest Comet Nucleus Ever Seen
Join NASA scientists live to learn more about a new broken record from Hubble – the farthest star ever seen! We’ll discuss how Hubble made this major discovery and what… Continue reading 80-Live Q&A: Hubble Detects Farthest Star Ever Seen
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has established an extraordinary new benchmark: detecting the light of a star that existed within the first billion years after the universe’s birth in the big… Continue reading 81-Record Broken: Hubble Spots Farthest Star Ever Seen
A spectacular head-on collision between two galaxies fueled an unusual triangular-shaped star-birthing frenzy, as captured in a new image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The interacting galaxy duo is collectively… Continue reading 82-Galaxy Collision Creates “Space Triangle” in New Hubble Image
Black holes are often described as the monsters of the universe—tearing apart stars, consuming anything that comes too close, and holding light captive. Detailed evidence from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope,… Continue reading 83-Hubble finds a Black Hole Igniting Star Formation in a Dwarf Galaxy
The scientific community is incredibly excited to have these two highly complementary observatories operating together. With their collaboration, they will push the boundaries of knowledge on the backdrop of a… Continue reading 84-Hubble and Webb: A New Golden Age of Astronomy
Our Milky Way’s central black hole has a leak! This supermassive black hole, over 4 million times more massive than our Sun, looks like it still has the remnants of… Continue reading 85-Mini-Jet Found Near Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole
Over the years, the Hubble Space Telescope has taken hundreds of images of different kinds of incredible nebulae in our universe. A nebula is a giant cloud of dust and… Continue reading 86-Tour Stunning Hubble Nebulae Images
From its vantage point high above Earth’s atmosphere, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has completed its annual grand tour of the outer solar system – returning crisp images that are almost… Continue reading 87-Hubble’s Grand Tour of the Outer Solar System
This spectacular Hubble image of the Butterfly Nebula shows a colorful view of star death. The "wings" of the butterfly are regions of gas heated to more than 36,000° F… Continue reading 88-Sonification of the Butterfly Nebula
For the past 31 years, the Hubble Space Telescope has continued its important mission of uncovering the mysteries of the universe. One of those mysteries that Hubble has helped us… Continue reading 89-Hubble Science: Starbirth Nebulae, Cosmic Cradles
Nebulae are some of the most resplendent objects in the universe, but it’s easy to confuse which one is an “emission nebula,” and which one is an “absorption nebula.” Thankfully,… Continue reading 90-Hubble’s Field Guide to Nebulae
A hypnotizing vortex? A peek into a witch’s cauldron? A giant space-spider web? In reality, it’s a look at the red giant star CW Leonis as photographed by NASA’s Hubble… Continue reading 91-Hubble Spotted Something ‘Scary’
