A pair of quasars that existed when the universe was only 3 billion years old has been spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope.
A dazzling new image from the Hubble Space Telescope captures a bright spiral galaxy on a diagonal tilt, resembling a pendulum swinging back and forth through space. The galaxy, called IC 1954 ...
New observations of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot captured by the Hubble Space Telescope show that the 190-year-old storm wiggles like gelatin and shape-shifts like a squeezed stress ball.
By contrast, the planet Neptune has dark spots that can drift widely in latitude without strong jet streams holding them in ...
The surprising find is the result of a 14-year study conducted with the Hubble Space Telescope. The study team, led by Matthew Hayes of Stockholm University, searched for these early supermassive ...
It will feature a segmented primary mirror 39.3 meters across. When finished, it will be more powerful than the Hubble Space Telescope. For most of our history, the science of astronomy was ...
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 ...
In a surprise finding, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have discovered that the blowtorch-like jet from a supermassive black hole at the core of a huge galaxy seems to cause stars ...
