NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures a cosmic ring galaxy
Galaxies have been known to take numerous forms. Indeed, elliptical blobs, swirling spiral arms, bulges, and disks are all known components of the wide range of galaxies astronomers have observed using telescopes like NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. read more
Wired Space Photo of the Day: Hubble Spies Beautiful Globules
Strangely glowing dark clouds float serenely in this remarkable and beautiful image taken with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. These dense, opaque dust clouds - known as "globules" - are silhouetted against nearby bright stars in the busy star-forming region, IC...
Get ready to find E.T. with the James Webb Space Telescope
NASA astronomers involved in the mission of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) say the successor to the Hubble and Spitzer telescopes will likely enable mankind to finally answer the existential question "Are we alone?" within this generation. Show More Summary
Alma Telescope Will See Planets Being Born
The world's most powerful telescope which can produce images ten times sharper than Nasa's Hubble is to become operational in Chile's Atacama desert.The Alma telescope, which promises to probe deeper into space than ever before, comprises...Show More Summary
The blue bursts of hot young stars
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image illustrating the blue bursts of hot young stars. read more
"The Methuselah Star" --New Hubble Data Says It's Close, But Not Older than the Universe
"We have found that this is the oldest known star with a well-determined age," said Howard Bond of Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pa., and the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md. The star could be as old...
Hubble space telescope dates an ancient star
A team of astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has taken an important step closer to finding the "birth certificate" of an ancient star. read more
Hubble finds birth certificate of oldest known star
A team of astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has taken an important step closer to finding the birth certificate of a star that's been around for a very long time. "We have found that this is the oldest known star with a...Show More Summary
NASA and ESA Think This Distorted Galaxy Looks Like a Space Invader
Personally, I think it looks more like Black Manta's helmet than a Space Invader, but this image of a spiral galaxy taken with the Hubble Space Telescope sure looks like something other than a spiral galaxy. That's because the light from the "Space Invader" galaxy is being bent around a galaxy cluster called Abell 68. Show More Summary
Wired Space Photo of the Day: Spot the Space Invader
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most powerful available to astronomers, but sometimes it too needs a helping hand. This comes in the form of Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which makes galaxy clusters act as natural...
Hubble telescope spots Space Invader in space
Hubble spies with its little eye, something that starts with "S." (Credit: ESA, and the Hubble Heritage/ESA-Hubble Collaboration, NASA) Space Invaders attack! (Click to enlarge.) (Credit: Screenshot by Amanda Kooser/CNET) Humans have long looked up into space and assigned objects like lions, bears, and hunters to shapes made by the stars. Show More Summary
Hubble telescope has just spotted a Space Invader
NASA has just released a photo captured by its Hubble Space Telescope that reveals a deep cosmic entity that looks suspiciously like a Space Invader. Not an alien race bent on human destruction, but a cluster of galaxies — dubbed Abel 68 — that bears a striking resemblance to the pixelated extraterrestrials of the classic 1970s arcade game. More »
Gravitational telescope creates space invader mirage
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most powerful available to astronomers, but sometimes it too needs a helping hand. This comes in the form of Einstein's general theory of relativity, which makes galaxy clusters act as natural lenses, amplifying the light coming from very distant galaxies.
NASA Finds Space Invaders Deep in the Cosmos
NASA's Hubble Telescope peered deep into a cluster of galaxies called Abell 68 recently, and found a wicked space invader that looks like it's headed right for us. Brace for impact! More »
Gravitational telescope creates space invader mirage
Abell 68, pictured here in infrared light, is one of these galaxy clusters, and it greatly boosts the power of Hubble, extending the telescope's ability to observe distant and faint objects [1]. The fuzzy collection of blobs in the middle and upper left of the image is a swarm of galaxies, each with hundreds of billions of stars and vast amounts of dark matter. read more
The Galactic Feelings of Vox Mod's Second Single
Vox Mod has dropped a new single from his album SYN-ÆSTHETIC (it will be released on April 2). The track, "Life Forms," features Irene Barbaric...In space, people can hear you sing... Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble Heritage

How the Hubble Space Telescope Snaps Those Amazing Images
Hubble is a telescope that orbits above Earth's atmosphere, beaming home images that have helped us solve some of the universe's greatest mysteries. Here's how it works. More About: astronomy, ESA, Hubble, NASA, Science, space, What's Inside
The Eye of Sauron is nebula ESO 456-67
It may look like something from "The Lord of the Rings," trilogy (think the Eye of Sauron), but this fiery swirl is actually a real-life planetary nebula known as ESO 456-67 imaged by NASA's Hubble space telescope. read more
Hubble observes glowing, fiery shells of gas
A new image from the Hubble Space Telescope may look like something from "The Lord of the Rings," but this fiery swirl is actually a planetary nebula known as ESO 456-67. Set against a backdrop of bright stars, the rust-colored object lies in the constellation of Sagittarius (The Archer), in the southern sky.
Hubble sees a glowing jet from a young star
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new image showing an object known as HH 151, a bright jet of glowing material trailed by an intricate, orange-hued plume of gas and dust.
