Once dismissed as empty expanses between galaxies, cosmic voids are becoming one of the most promising tools for probing the ...

Learn how Hubble is measuring the expansion rate of the Universe in this new explainer from NASA's Goddard Space Flight ...

The nebula is a star-forming region located about 5,000 light-years from Earth. Hubble first imaged this cosmic phenomenon in 1997 and revisited it with an improved camera. The new image helps ...

The Hubble Space Telescope still flies in Earth orbit, taking high-resolution photographs of stars, galaxies, nebula, asteroids, planets — pretty much anything astronomers decide merits Hubble’s time.

The ESA, NASA and CSA have released new images of Saturn captured by the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes that offer an unprecedented view of the gas giant's atmosphere. Particularly, comparing ...

The Cat’s Eye Nebula, also known as NGC 6543, appears differently in the latest images due to the combination of high-resolution observations from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and ESA’s Euclid space ...

For years now, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has had its fair share of brushes with death. The groundbreaking observatory launched into low-Earth orbit 36 years ago, and it’s now been operational two ...

It’s well established that the universe is expanding, but there’s serious disagreement among scientists over how fast it’s happening. Two of our best ways of measuring the cosmic expansion rate, the ...

On April 24, 1990, humanity launched a scientific revolution. I mean “launched” literally: on that date the space shuttle Discovery roared into the sky with the Hubble Space Telescope nestled in its ...

Star formation can feel like a distant, abstract concept, until you see it mapped across a landscape of gas and dust. A recent image from the Hubble Space Telescope looks at the the N159 star-forming ...
