Celestial Snow Angel 3D: Star-forming Region Sharpless 2-106
The star-forming region Sharpless 2-106 (S106) has a bi-polar shape that, in a December 2011 Hubble press release, was likened to a "celestial snow angel". The "wings" of the nebula are actually bubbles of hot gas created by stellar winds and high energy radiation coming from a massive, hot, newborn star in the center.
Hubble Achieves Milestone: 100,000th Exposure | HubbleSite
The Hubble telescope reached a milestone several years sooner than scientists expected when it snapped its 100,000th exposure June 22, 1996. The six-year-old orbiting observatory has averaged 1,389 exposures a month, an amount that would make any photographer envious.
NASA's Webb, Hubble Telescopes Affirm Universe's Expansion Rate, Puzzle ...
Webb’s sharp infrared views of Cepheids agreed with Hubble data. Webb confirmed that the Hubble telescope's keen eye was right all along. The bottom line is that the so-called “Hubble Tension” between what happens in the nearby universe compared to the early universe’s expansion remains a fascinating puzzle for cosmologists.
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.

Hubble Goes Hunting for Small Main Belt Asteroids | HubbleSite
Hubble is a project of international cooperation between NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the telescope and mission operations. Lockheed Martin Space, based in Denver, Colorado, also supports mission operations at Goddard.
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 ...
Pluto and Its Moon, Charon - HubbleSite
This is the clearest view yet of the distant planet Pluto and its moon, Charon, as revealed by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The image was taken by the European Space Agency's Faint Object Camera on February 21, 1994 when the planet was 2.6 billion miles (4.4 billion kilometers) from Earth; or nearly 30 times the separation between Earth ...
NASA's Hubble Finds that a Black Hole Beam Promotes Stellar Eruptions
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).
Hubble Reveals the Ring Nebula's True Shape | HubbleSite
Caption In this composite image, visible-light observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope are combined with infrared data from the ground-based Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona to assemble a dramatic view of the well-known Ring Nebula. Called a planetary nebula, the Ring Nebula is the glowing remains of a Sun-like star.
