This is a montage of NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope views of our solar system's four giant outer planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, each shown in enhanced color. The images were taken ...
This newest Hubble image of two intersecting galaxies was taken during what NASA and the ESA call a snapshot. Snapshots are basically the times when NASA doesn’t have Hubble set to an active target.
NGC 5643 was also the subject of a previous Hubble image. The new image incorporates additional wavelengths of light, including the red color that is characteristic of gas heated by massive young ...
If you’d like to have a go at our challenge, we simply want you to image the area of sky that covers the Hubble Deep Field to see whether you can detect any of the objects that are located in it.
The repair worked, and Hubble began to deliver crystal-clear images. Hubble's images have helped to pin down the age of the universe, which the expansion rate of pulsating stars suggests is some ...
The universe is filled with fascinating astronomical objects, each offering unique insights into the mysteries of space. Among them, R Aquarii stands out as an intriguing binary star system in ...
This is a montage of Hubble Space Telescope views of our solar system's four giant outer planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, each shown in enhanced color. The images were taken over ...
Cosmic Reef (NGC 2014 and NGC 2020) This Hubble Space Telescope image image is nicknamed the “Cosmic Reef,” because it resembles an undersea world. The sparkling centerpiece of NGC 2014 is a ...
The universe is home to many fascinating objects. R Aquarii is a binary star system with a red giant and a white dwarf. Omega Centauri is a globular cluster with millions of stars. M87 is a galaxy ...
A grand spiral galaxy takes center stage in a new image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The galaxy, known as NGC 5643, is located roughly 40 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Lupus.
This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the gauzy-looking celestial body UGC 5829, an irregular galaxy that lies about 30 million light-years away. Despite the lack of ...
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope cracked a “glittering cosmic geode” in a new image of a triple-star system. One of the stars gives us a glimpse of what our own sun might have been like ...
