For more than three decades, the Hubble Space Telescope has been capturing images we never imagined possible, revealing cosmic treasures too magnificent to remain hidden. It has been delivering stunning photographs that showcase the universe's wonders,

After more than three decades of trailblazing discoveries, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has done it again. Combining fresh Hubble observations with data from ground-based observatories, astronomers have traced how Betelgeuse’s newly identified companion star,

In 1974, the project’s Science Working Group recommended that the telescope be required to resolve details at least one-tenth of an arcsecond (or 1/36,000 of a degree of arc across the sky), and have a wavelength range from ultraviolet through visible to infrared light.

One of the Hubble Space Telescope’s most iconic images is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, which unveiled myriad galaxies across the universe, stretching back to within a few hundred million years of the Big Bang. Hubble peered at a single patch of seemingly ...

This results in a composition that is “unexpectedly chaotic and turbulent.” “These new Hubble images show that planet nurseries can be much more active and chaotic than we expected,” Kristina Monsch,

A revolutionary image made over 10 days in December 1995 from the Hubble Telescope 30 years ago of an area of the sky astronomers had thought was empty displays a massive quantity of celestial bodies. “The result of that image, filled with thousands of ...

The MUSE instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope has given astronomers the best ever three-dimensional view of the deep Universe. After staring at the Hubble Deep Field South region for only 27 hours, the new observations reveal the distances, motions ...
