A new possible explanation for the Hubble tension
The universe is expanding. How fast it does so is described by the so-called Hubble-Lemaitre constant. But there is a dispute about how big this constant actually is: Different measurement methods provide contradictory values......»»
From Donna Summer to creaking floorboards: How sound shapes "Fair Play"
"Fair Play" director Chloe Domont explains how elements of her film's score — including a Donna Summer needle drop — build tension. When it comes to sound, Fair Play starts with a banger and ends with a bang.The corporate thriller from writ.....»»
Hubble"s multi-wavelength view of recently released Webb image
Patches of bright pink and wisps of dark red paint the foreground of this new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image. NGC 5068 is a barred spiral galaxy with thousands of star-forming regions and large quantities of interstellar dust. First discovered by.....»»

The Hubble Space Telescope recently observed something strange: an extremely bright, extremely fast flash of light that popped up in the middle of nowhere......»»
Hubble finds bizarre explosion in unexpected place
A very rare, strange burst of extraordinarily bright light in the universe just got even stranger—thanks to the eagle-eye of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The phenomenon, called a Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient (LFBOT), flashed onto th.....»»
Hubble captures starry Cetus constellation galaxy
New and old stars alike twinkle in the dusty spiral arms of NGC 1087. Located 80 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus, NGC 1087 is a barred spiral galaxy. It has a diameter of 87,000 light-years and a very small nucleus, or center......»»

Saturday Citations: Volcano vs. asteroid; NASA"s supernova time lapse; immortal chemicals
This week, we're highlighting a study involving toxic chemical contaminants, and just for fun, a second study involving other toxic chemical contaminants. But NASA made a cool time-lapse video using the good old Hubble space telescope, and a group of.....»»
Living on the edge: Supernova bubble expands in new Hubble time-lapse movie
Though a doomed star exploded some 20,000 years ago, its tattered remnants continue racing into space at breakneck speeds—and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has caught the action......»»
Hubble peers at peculiar Arp 107 pair
This image taken using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) shows Arp 107, a celestial object that includes a pair of galaxies in the midst of a collision. The larger object (left) is an extremely energetic type of.....»»
A possible explanation for an increasing trend in the cyclone Genesis Potential Index in the Arabian Sea
A team of Earth scientists and oceanographers affiliated with several institutions in India, working with a colleague from the U.S., has developed possible explanations for some of the factors involved in the observed increasing trend in the cyclone.....»»
Team of astronomers investigate a galaxy group in the early universe
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers led by researchers at the Cosmic Dawn Center in Copenhagen, have investigated a galaxy seen almost 11 billion years back in time. Contrary to typical observations, the galaxy was.....»»

A new image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a stunning field of thousands of stars, part of a globular star cluster called Terzan 12......»»
Hubble dispels dust to see glittering globular cluster Terzan 12
The glittering globular cluster Terzan 12—a vast, tightly bound collection of stars—fills the frame of this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The location of this globular cluster, deep in the Milky Way galaxy in the constellation S.....»»
Hubble captures galaxy ESO 300-16
The galaxy ESO 300-16 looms over this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This galaxy, which lies 28.7 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Eridanus, is a ghostly assemblage of stars which resembles a sparkling cloud. Other.....»»
Hubble views elliptical galaxy Messier 89
This huge ball of stars—around 100 billion in total—is an elliptical galaxy located some 55 million light-years away. Known as Messier 89, this galaxy appears to be perfectly spherical; which is unusual for elliptical galaxies that tend to be elo.....»»
