The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an incredibly detailed photo of a spiral galaxy that is shaped like an eye. The photo was made thanks to two of Hubble's instruments: the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) and the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS).
The Hubble Space Telescope recently celebrated its 20th year using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), which was installed on Hubble in March of 2002 and became its most used camera.
Hubble has captured a stunning photo of two interacting galaxies that likely passed through one another, which caused them to ignite in a "frenzy of starbirth."
A team of astrophysicists has created a simulated image that shows how the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will operate compared to Hubble: it will be able to image an area 300x larger with the same sharp resolution.
The Hubble Space Telescope, while soon to be succeeded by the James Webb Space Telescope, continues to capture important images of the universe. In two recent images, perspective plays an important role in how these galaxies appear.
The Hubble Space Telescope has observed a black hole at the center of a dwarf galaxy that is not acting like the destructive monsters they are often portrayed as. Instead, this black hole is creating stars rather than absorbing them.
A new image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope showcases a spiral-shaped galaxy that lies around 150 million light-years away. But NASA says not to be fooled: its peaceful state belies a violent past.
NASA is set to launch the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the successor to the legendary Hubble Space Telescope, on December 25, and what it will be first set to observe was determined from more than 1,000 proposals.
NASA has successfully fully restored Hubble to full operation, and all four of its active instruments are back online and collecting science observations.
NASA is making significant progress on reviving the Hubble Space Telescope, which has been in safe mode since early November after the synchronization of messages that control its instruments were becoming lost.
The Hubble Space Telescope's scientific operations have been suspended for the second time this year. It is currently in safe mode and NASA engineers are trying to figure out what went wrong.
In December of last year, Hubble captured a photo of a distant galaxy that, thanks to gravitational lensing, appeared almost as a perfect "Einstein Ring." A year later, astronomers revealed what they learned from examining the photo.
The Hubble Space Telescope in concert with the Atacama Large millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile found what NASA describes as odd: early, massive, "dead" galaxies that have run out of the fuel necessary to continue to make stars.
NASA has published a spectacular image that was photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope that shows what the space organization describes as a three-way tug-of-war between interacting galaxies.
Hubble, which just came back online after being down for a month, has captured this stunning photo of a galaxy that exists a staggering 10 billion light-years away. The telescope can see and focus this vast distance by leveraging the power of gravity.
NASA has released two new stunning images taken by Hubble after the legendary telescope was forced offline for a month.
Picture Instruments, a Germany-based software company known best for its plugins for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic, has released a new plugin that promises to create clean, detailed, ultra-sharp images with incredible depth by employing a technique used by the Hubble Space Telescope team.
The Hubble Space Telescope has an incredible camera system in its own right, but thanks to a phenomenon called gravitational lensing it can capture images far beyond what human technology and optical science currently allow.
In celebration of the Hubble Space Telescope's 31st year, NASA astronomers aimed the famed observatory at what is called a "celebrity star," or one that is one of the brightest in our galaxy. This one, named AG Carinae, is wavering on the edge of self-destruction.
NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has re-released an image of the Veil Nebula that it originally featured back in 2015. This time, significantly more detail has been made visible thanks to new processing techniques.
As part of its celebration of a new year, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has published six different galaxy mergers. These rare astronomical phenomena were captured as part of a recent survey to investigate the rate of new star formations.
In celebration of its 30th anniversary capturing stunning images of stellar objects, NASA has released 30 newly-processed Hubble images featuring galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae.
Every Sunday, we bring together a collection of easy reading articles from analytical to how-to to photo-features in no particular order that did not make our regular daily coverage. Enjoy!
In just one relatively small "bulge" of the Soul Nebula (also known as Westerhout 5) in the constellation of Cassiopeia, the Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of a star that is still being born.
NASA has just published a stunning, one-of-a-kind time-lapse captured by the Hubble telescope. The short video shows an exploding star (AKA a supernova) in a galaxy 70-million light-years from Earth—a fireworks show so bright it outshone every other star in its galaxy before fading into oblivion.
Hubble turned 30 years old this month. Well, actually, the space telescope celebrated 30 years in orbit, but either way, NASA took the opportunity to celebrate this milestone by capturing a spectacular, never-before-scene view that they're calling a "tapestry of blazing starbirth."
This month, the Hubble space telescope is celebrating an incredible 30 years in orbit. And in honor of that milestone, NASA has created a fun tool that'll show you an epic deep space shot that Hubble captured on your birthday sometime within the last 3 decades.
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new portrait of Jupiter that shows the gas giant's details, including the Great Red Spot, in a more intense color palette than in the past.
Every mind-blowing deep space photograph captured by the Hubble space telescope that you've ever seen started out black-and-white. So how do we get those amazing technicolor images of the Pillars of Creation or the Bubble Nebula? This short video explains how scientists manage this feat.
As photographers in the US are gearing up to capture photos of 4th of July fireworks, NASA has released a gorgeous "fireworks" photo of its own. It's a shot of a "the galaxy's biggest ongoing stellar fireworks show" that started 170 years ago.
