Hubble telescope team marks 31st birthday with image of rare ultra-bright star on the brink of annihilation
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched on April 24, 1990, and has dazzled humanity with incredible images of our universe ever since. To mark its 31st anniversary, NASA shared a rare gem in the form of the star AG Carinae. tAG Carinae, a type of star called a luminous blue variable (LBV), is located some […]
Hubble Telescope finds 2 ‘needles’ in separate galactic haystacks with double-quasar discovery
Researchers wielding the almost all-seeing eye on board NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have detected not one, but two astronomical needles in two galactic haystacks; merging pairs of quasars that may reveal how galaxies form. By leveraging the wealth of information collected by the European Space Agency’s Gaia satellite and the ground-based Sloan Digital Sky Survey, […]
Hubble maps giant halo around Andromeda Galaxy
In a landmark study, scientists using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have mapped the immense envelope of gas, called a halo, surrounding the Andromeda galaxy, our nearest large galactic neighbor. Scientists were surprised to find that this tenuous, nearly invisible halo of diffuse plasma extends 1.3 million light-years from the galaxy—about halfway to our Milky Way—and […]

Hubble Finds That Betelgeuse’s Mysterious Dimming Is Due to a Traumatic Outburst
Observations by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope are showing that the unexpected dimming of the supergiant star Betelgeuse was most likely caused by an immense amount of hot material ejected into space, forming a dust cloud that blocked starlight coming from Betelgeuse’s surface. Hubble researchers suggest that the dust cloud formed when superhot plasma unleashed from […]
Hubble spots pitch-black exoplanet so hot it ‘eats light’ from nearby star
An international team of astronomers from McGill University, Canada and the University of Exeter, UK measured how much light is reflected by the exoplanet, otherwise known as its ‘albedo,’ in order to better understand the chemical makeup of the planet’s atmosphere. Only the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is […]
Stunning! Hubble image captures hundreds of galaxies 6 billion light-years away
In a breathtaking image of hundreds of galaxies, the Hubble Space Telescope provides an incredible display of a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. The telescope, run jointly by NASA and the European Space Agency, imaged a region six billion light-years away containing the galaxy cluster Abell 370. Gravitational lensing, first proposed by physicist Albert […]
