Jul 10, 2024 · Now, an international team of astronomers has used more than 500 images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope — spanning two decades of observations — to search for evidence of an intermediate-mass black hole by following the motion of seven fast-moving stars in the innermost region of the globular star cluster Omega Centauri.

May 2, 2019 · Hubble became astronomy's ultimate time machine. The resulting landmark image is called the Hubble Deep Field. At the time, the image won the gold medal for being the farthest peek into the universe ever made. Its stunning success encouraged astronomers to pursue a series of Hubble deep-field surveys.

Mar 11, 2024 · 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.

Dec 1, 2005 · This is a mosaic image, one of the largest ever taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope of the Crab Nebula, a six-light-year-wide expanding remnant of a star's supernova explosion. Japanese and Chinese astronomers recorded this violent event nearly 1,000 years ago in 1054, as did, almost certainly, Native Americans.

The Hubble Space Telescope opened up a new, far frontier in probing the universe. From the early 1990s to the present, it has allowed astronomers to leapfrog across the universe to unveil an undiscovered country where galaxies evolved from smaller and more primitive assemblages of …

Jan 13, 2025 · But it is a rare class of star that NASA's Hubble Space Telescope explored by looking deeply into the open star cluster M67, roughly 2,800 light-years away. Forensics with Hubble data show that the star has had a tumultuous life, mixing with two other stars gravitationally bound together in a remarkable triple-star system.

Jan 4, 2024 · By combining several years of observations from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope along with conducting computer modelling, astronomers have found evidence for massive cyclones and other dynamic weather activity swirling on a …

Sep 23, 2021 · Hubble Space Telescope's glamour shots of the universe are so revealing they nearly always have a discovery behind them. In this particular snapshot, a science discovery followed the release of a Hubble observation of a striking example of a deep-space optical phenomenon dubbed an "Einstein ring."

Nov 18, 2021 · Hubble's sharp view gleans insights into the fascinating, dynamic weather patterns and seasons on these gas giants and allows astronomers to investigate the very similar—and very different—causes of their changing atmospheres.

Sep 26, 2024 · Hubble found twice as many novae going off near the jet as elsewhere in the giant galaxy during the surveyed time period. The jet is launched by a 6.5-billion-solar-mass central black hole surrounded by a disk of swirling matter.
