As for Hubble, he didn't stop there. His subsequent tuning-fork diagram of the shapes of galaxies remains a classic teaching tool for astronomers, and even though the evolution of galaxies that ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope managed to capture an incredible image of a galaxy that looks an awful lot like a bullseye. "This was a serendipitous discovery," said Imad Pasha, the lead researcher ...

The water ripples out from where the bird breaks the surface. The Hubble Space Telescope is helping scientists unravel the history of the two galaxies and the results of their cosmic meetup.

A little-known chapter of the Hubble Space Telescope’s history is a reminder of the risks of looking at the sun If you’ve ever done any public outreach work for astronomy—if you’ve given ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to probe the interiors of neutron stars by using gravitational waves to turn them into ...

Now those hoops surround a "new" galaxy. Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers at Yale University have discovered the freshly-named "bullseye galaxy," which features nine sparkling ...

Hubble's sharp imaging capabilities can resolve more than 200 million stars in the Andromeda galaxy, detecting only stars brighter than our Sun. They look like grains of sand across the beach. But ...

This is the story for a system that once contained three co-orbiting stars. Forensics with Hubble data show that the stars have had a tumultuous life. Two of the stars merged about 500 million ...

Determining the expansion rate of the universe—known as the Hubble constant—has been a major scientific pursuit ever since 1929, when Edwin Hubble first discovered that the universe was expanding.

The full image includes some 2.5 billion pixels compiled from observations spanning more than 1,000 orbits around Earth Margherita Bassi Daily Correspondent NASA’s Earth-orbiting Hubble Space ...

This discrepancy between model and data became known as the Hubble tension. Now, results published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters provide even stronger support to the faster rate of expansion.
