The universe is losing a galaxy. Recent images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope show two galaxies in the process of merging. Dubbed "Angel Wing" due to its symmetrical appearance, the collision forms part of the Leo constellation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Earlier this year, to celebrate the 26th birthday of its Hubble Space Telescope, NASA shot and published this gorgeous photo of the Bubble Nebula, which has a balloon-like bubble that's expanding in space from a super-hot, massive star that's 45 times more massive than our Sun. The image shows the bubble with never-before-seen clarity.

Captured on April 1, 1995 by the Hubble Telescope, the photograph Pillars of Creation is one of the most …
