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.
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.
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.
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.
A team of astronomers used three NASA space telescopes to create a composite image of the remains of a supernova that reveals details about the star's death.
The James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) mid-infrared instrument (MIRI) has been used to capture a gorgeous and mesmerizing photo of the heart of galaxy M74, also known as the Phantom Galaxy.
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.
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.
NASA has announced that it has isolated the mass and location of what could be a “wandering” black hole using the Hubble Space Telescope. This is the first time in the space agency's history it has been able to achieve this, despite there being over 100 million black holes populating our galaxy.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has calibrated more than 40 "milepost markers" of space and time over the course of the last 30 years that scientists are using to measure the expansion of the universe.
Hubble recently celebrated 32 years of imaging the sky, which has resulted in over 1.4 million observations. Physicist Casey Handmer combined those observations into a single image to see how much of the sky Hubble had actually captured.
The universe is losing a galaxy. Recent images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope show two galaxies in the process of merging. Dubbed "Angel Wing" due to its symmetrical appearance, the collision forms part of the Leo constellation.
NASA is celebrating the Hubble Space Telescope's 32nd birthday through a remarkable photo that shows a collection of five closely-knit galaxies called The Hickson Compact Group 40.
The Hubble Space Telescope has been responsible for some of the most exciting astronomical finds in history and while research time with Hubble is highly sought after, anyone can check what the storied telescope is currently pointed at whenever they like.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured the largest icy comet ever observed by astronomers. With a diameter of about 80 miles across, it is 50 times bigger than most known comets and it is headed directly towards Earth.
In a new photo captured by Hubble, what appears to be a calm spiral galaxy belies the supermassive black hole at its nucleus.
