Hubble Makes First Direct Measurements of Atmosphere on World Around ...
Summary Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have made the first direct detection of the atmosphere of a planet orbiting a star outside our solar system. Their unique observations demonstrate that it is possible with Hubble and other telescopes to measure the chemical makeup of alien planet atmospheres and to potentially search for the chemical markers of life beyond Earth. The planet ...
Jupiter — January 24, 2015 | HubbleSite
The Hubble image on the left (unlabeled at top left, labeled at bottom left) shows the beginning of the event, which took place on January 24, 2015. From left to right the moons Callisto and Io are above Jupiter's cloud tops.
Lagoon Nebula (Infrared-light View) | HubbleSite
Hubble’s view offers a sneak peek at the dramatic vistas NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will provide. The most obvious difference between Hubble’s infrared and visible photos of this region is the abundance of stars that fill the infrared field of view. Most of them are more distant, background stars located behind the nebula itself.
NASA's Hubble Finds More Black Holes than Expected in the Early ...
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field photo was revealed in 2004. A team of astronomers from Stockholm University looked at later images of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field and found changes in brightness among some galaxies.
Hubble Sees a Horsehead of a Different Color | HubbleSite
Hubble's pairing of infrared sensitivity and unparalleled resolution offers a tantalizing hint of what the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope, set for launch in 2018, will be able to do.
NASA's Hubble, New Horizons Team Up for a Simultaneous Look at Uranus
The Hubble Space Telescope has been operating for over three decades and continues to make ground-breaking discoveries that shape our fundamental understanding of the universe. Hubble is a project of international cooperation between NASA and ESA (European Space Agency).
NASA's Webb, Hubble Telescopes Affirm Universe's Expansion Rate, Puzzle ...
Hubble and Webb’s further confirmation of the Hubble Tension sets up other observatories to possibly settle the mystery. NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will do wide celestial surveys to study the influence of dark energy, the mysterious energy that is causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate.
NASA's Hubble Observes the Farthest Active Inbound Comet Yet Seen
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has photographed the farthest active inbound comet ever seen, at a whopping distance of 1.5 billion miles from the Sun (beyond Saturn's orbit). Slightly warmed by the remote Sun, it has already begun to develop an 80,000-mile-wide fuzzy cloud of dust, called a coma, enveloping a tiny, solid nucleus of frozen gas and dust. These observations represent the earliest ...
Cosmic Reef Visualization | HubbleSite
The visualization is an interpretation of the nebulas' complex structure and is based on images by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The movie begins with the view of NGC 2014 (lower left) and NGC 2020 (upper right), as observed by Hubble. The region has been nicknamed the "Cosmic Reef," because of its resemblance to an undersea world.
Elliptical Galaxy M60 | HubbleSite
This is a Hubble Space Telescope image of the massive elliptical galaxy M60. The galaxy lies about 50 million light-years away inside the immense Virgo Cluster of 2,500 galaxies.
