Although the James Webb Space Telescope gets a lot of attention for its impressive technology and many discoveries, the Hubble Space Telescope has remained very busy, and researchers have been using the observatory to perform incredible science.
Approximately half a century ago, Turkish-Armenian astronomer Agop Terzan discovered 11 globular clusters. Today, the Hubble Space Telescope views Terzan's clusters in details he could have only dreamed of at the time.
While the James Webb Space Telescope may get the lion's share of the attention these days, the venerable Hubble Space Telescope is still performing vital science and capturing beautiful images.
The James Webb Space Telescope has observed the Ring Nebula in spectacular, unprecedented detail using its Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) imagers.
While people in Canada and the United States recently celebrated national holidays with fireworks, the James Webb Space Telescope observed a violent cosmic explosion more than 120 million light-years from Earth.
A newly released photo captured by the Hubble Space Telescope shows off a spectacular cluster teeming with bright, glittering stars that is available in greater than 4K resolution.
As more satellites are sent into space, images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope are more frequently being spoiled. In March, scientists published a study about the adverse impact of satellites on Hubble observations, and now, Hubble scientists have developed new software to mitigate the issue and remove the troublesome satellites from photos.
"Among the most fundamental questions in astronomy is: How did the first stars and galaxies form?" NASA writes. The James Webb Space Telescope hasn't been in space long, but it's already delivering critical insights into this monumental question.
Scientists have once again combined X-ray data from NASA's Chandra Observatory and groundbreaking James Webb Space Telescope to create stunning composite images that showcase the incredible capabilities of each telescope.
The Hubble Space Telescope is celebrating its 33rd year in orbit around Earth. To celebrate this incredible milestone, the Hubble team has released an incredible photo of a nearby star-forming region, NGC 1333.
Last October, a burst of gamma-ray light hit Earth that was so strong scientists believe it was the brightest to ever hit human civilization -- dubbing it the BOAT (brightest of all time).
The images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope are increasingly being spoiled by thousands of satellites streaking through the sky.
New photos from Hubble show what scientists call "spokes" across Saturn's rings. First seen by NASA's Voyager in the 1980s, these spokes appear seasonally and scientists still can't fully explain them.
Hubble is getting into the Halloween spirit with its photo of the galaxy cluster Abell 611. This, like all galaxy clusters, is a cosmic mystery to astronomers who aren't sure how it is able to stay together since there doesn't seem to be enough mass to keep it from flying apart.
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new celestial image that depicts two objects, described as "glowing clumps," that are found around some newborn stars.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or Webb) has captured a massive and stunningly detailed photo of the Pillars of Creation, a celestial region that gives birth to new stars.
Even though the James Webb Space Telescope tends to steal the space-themed headlines lately, the Hubble Space Telescope is still capturing incredible photos of the universe, including this galactic pair that are so close to one another that they are distorted by each other's gravity.
NASA and SpaceX have agreed to investigate if it would be possible to boost the Hubble Space Telescope into a higher, more stable orbit with a Dragon spacecraft in order to extend its lifespan.
The James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope both managed to capture detailed images of the impact of the planetary defense Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART). It is the first time that Webb and Hubble have simultaneously observed the same celestial target.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a mid-infrared image of the spiral galaxy IC 5332, which shows an entirely different view compared to what Hubble is able to see of the same region.
Two spiral galaxies were photographed "colliding" into one another by the Hubble Space Telescope but the image is actually a celestial optical illusion.
Fans of astrophotography are currently feasting thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, but Hubble isn't ready to be forgotten yet. Its latest capture is a gorgeous glittering star cluster in the constellation Sagittarius.
While the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has dominated headlines, the Hubble Space Telescope shouldn't be forgotten. The legendary observatory recently captured this gorgeous photo that showcases the colors of the Orion Nebula.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a glimpse of Earendel, the oldest and most distant star ever observed that was first discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope earlier this year.
While the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the focus of most space-related headlines lately, Hubble is still hard at work and recently captured this stunning star cluster photo.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has broken the record for the oldest galaxy ever observed by nearly 100 million years. The galaxy, called GLASS-z13, dates to just 300 million years after the big bang.
NASA has finally published the first colorized, full-resolution photos captured by the James Webb Space Telescope and the detail and resolution of the images is incredible, especially when compared to the images of these same cosmic objects captured by Hubble.
The James Webb Space Telescope's first full-color photo has been revealed, and comparing it side-by-side to the same area that was imaged by Hubble shows just how much more detail Webb’s camera is capable of capturing.
An algorithm that was originally developed to map the stars is also used to track whale sharks for the sake of conservation efforts.
Messier 64, otherwise known as M64 or the Black Eye galaxy, resides about 17 million light-years away, but during the month of May it is actually observable with a moderately-sized telescope and can be photographed from Earth.
