NASA’s Hubble and New Horizons Collaborate for Uranus Observation, Shedding Light on Exoplanet Imaging
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the New Horizons spacecraft teamed up for a unique dual observation of Uranus, providing valuable insights into planetary atmospheres. Hubble captured high-resolution images, revealing atmospheric features, while New Horizons, 6.5 billion miles away, saw the planet as a small dot. This combined data helps researche...

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Finds a High Number of Black Holes in the Early Universe
An international team of researchers, led by scientists from Stockholm University's Department of Astronomy, has discovered a higher number of black holes in the early universe than was previously recorded. Using the NASA Hubble Space Telescope, this team found black holes among faint galaxies formed shortly after the Big Bang event.

Hubble Space Telescope, Launched In 1990, Will Ease Into Retirement
The venerable Hubble Space Telescope, which has revolutionized astronomical discovery since its launch in 1990, will ease into retirement with a scaled-back observing schedule, NASA officials said Tuesday.

NASA's Hubble Telescope Captures "Last Gasp" Of Dying Binary Star System
NGC 2346 is a so-called "planetary nebula," which is ejected from Sun-like stars which are near the ends of their lives.

NASA's Hubble Telescope Discovers Black Hole Twisting A Star Into Donut Shape
NASA stated that in a galaxy with a dormant black hole at its core, such an event only occurs a few times in 1,00,000 years.

Hubble Telescope Reveals Huge Star's Explosion In Blow-By-Blow Detail
About 11.5 billion years ago, a distant star roughly 530 times larger than our sun died in a cataclysmic explosion that blew its outer layers of gas into the surrounding cosmos, a supernova documented by astronomers in blow-by-blow detail.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Shares Image of Celestial Cloudscape in Orion Nebula
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a region of colourful dust and gas clouds encircling an HH 505 or a Herbig-Haro object in the Orion Nebula. Herbig-Haro objects, which are bright regions surrounding young stars, are created when stellar winds or jets of gas emitted by these stars collide violently with neighbouring gas and dust.

NASA’s James Webb Telescope Could Make Discoveries Yet to Be Imagined, Astronomers Say
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s most revolutionary findings may turn out to be accidental discoveries or answers to questions yet to be asked, according to astronomers. Experts say that the observatory's most consequential discoveries may well be those they have yet to even imagine. The JWST is 100 times more sensitive than its 30-year-old ...

Dead Star Caught Ripping Apart Planetary System in a Rare Incidence of Cosmic Cannibilism
The discovery was made by analysing archival data from NASA's Hubble Telescope and other observatories of the American space agency. Termed cosmic cannibalism, the observation helped shed light on the violent nature of the evolved planetary system and can help astronomers in understanding the makeup of newly forming systems.

Astronomers Witness Mysterious Death of a Star Emitting 6 Rings of Smoke
Scientists from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have discovered that V Hydrae, a dying star emitted a series of expanding smoke rings that are blown every few hundred years. The exact mechanism in which these intriguing “smoke rings” develop is still unknown.

As NASA's Telescopes Falter, Astronomers Fear Losing Their Eyes In Space
America's Great Observatories - the Hubble, Chandra, Compton and Spitzer space telescopes - have peered into the unknown and made breakthrough discoveries about newborn stars, dark matter and the age of the universe itself.
