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......»»
Hubble watches an extreme exoplanet being stripped by its star
A Neptune-sized planet orbits close enough to its star that it is bombarded by dramatic flares which cook the planet with radiation and strip its atmosphere......»»
Hubble observes a galaxy that hosted an epic supernova explosion
This week's image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a stunning view of a spiral galaxy called UGC 12295, located nearly 200 million light-years away......»»
Be a "good farmer" or follow new regulations: The struggle for Otago farmers
A new national freshwater policy is causing tension for Otago farmers, as many of the new regulations oppose their perception of a "good farmer" and good farming practices, University of Otago research shows......»»
Hubble image shows a lonely star glowing over an irregular background galaxy
This Hubble image is composed of two different exposures which have been merged together, showing star BD+17 2217 shining over the background galaxy Arp 263......»»
Asteroid-smashing NASA probe sent boulders into space
When a NASA spacecraft successfully knocked an asteroid off course last year it sent dozens of boulders skittering into space, images from the Hubble telescope showed on Thursday......»»
Hubble observes a cluster of boulders around impacted asteroid Dimorphos
Last year, NASA deliberately crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid. Now, Hubble has observed that a number of boulders have been ejected from the asteroid......»»
Hubble images a starstruck galaxy
The irregular galaxy Arp 263 lurks in the background of this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, but the view is dominated by a stellar photobomber, the bright star BD+17 2217. Arp 263—also known as NGC 3239—is a patchy, irregular gal.....»»
Hubble sees boulders escaping from asteroid Dimorphos
Wayward asteroids present a real collision hazard to Earth. Scientists estimate that an asteroid measuring several miles across smashed into Earth 65 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs, among other forms of life, in a mass extinction. Unli.....»»
Astronomers investigate recent star formation history of the Fireworks Galaxy
Astronomers from the University of Washington in Seattle and elsewhere have conducted Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the nearby Fireworks Galaxy. Results of the observational campaign, presented July 10 on the preprint server arXiv, yie.....»»
Image: Hubble views a galactic monster
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a monster in the making in this observation of the exceptional galaxy cluster eMACS J1353.7+4329, which lies about eight billion light-years from Earth in the constellation Canes Venatici. This collect.....»»

Hubble Aurora empowers businesses to gain insights into their technology ecosystems
Hubble announced its next-generation Technology Asset Visibility and Cybersecurity Posture Management Platform, Aurora. Aurora builds on the foundation of Hubble’s existing Asset Intelligence platform, providing users with asset visibility and.....»»
One galaxy, two views: see a comparison of images from Hubble and Webb
Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope operate in different wavelengths. That means that they can see different aspects of the same objects......»»
Hubble observes spiral galaxy UGC 11860
The spiral galaxy UGC 11860 seems to float serenely against a field of background galaxies in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. UGC 11860 lies around 184 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus, and its untroubled app.....»»
"Sandwich" discovery offers new explanation for planet formation
Scientists have made a new discovery on how small planets might form. Researchers at the University of Warwick investigated the "birth environment" of planets—areas of gas and dust that swirl around a central star—known as the protoplanetary disk.....»»
Musk annoys Twitter users by capping number of tweets they can view each day
Former Twitter exec says Musk explanation "just doesn't pass the sniff test." Enlarge (credit: Getty Images | NurPhoto ) Twitter has imposed limits on how many tweets users can view each day, with owner Elon Musk claimin.....»»
Mathematical model explains how hollow-core fibers guide light with ultra-low data loss
Scientists at the University of Bath have developed a mathematical model to explain how antiresonant hollow-core fibers guide light in a way that keeps data loss ultra-low. Until now, scientists had no complete explanation for this well-observed phen.....»»
Hubble glimpses globular cluster NGC 6544
The teeming stars of the globular cluster NGC 6544 glisten in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This cluster of tightly bound stars lies more than 8,000 light-years away from Earth and is, like all globular clusters, a densely popu.....»»
Australia says Twitter is top platform for online hate, demands explanation
An Australian cyber regulator on Thursday said it has demanded Twitter explain its handling of online hate as the microblog has become the country's most complained-about platform since new owner Elon Musk lifted bans on a reported 62,000 accounts......»»
Satellites Keep Photobombing Space Images. Astronomers Need a Fix
A new technique could aid Hubble Space Telescope users, but the problem will get worse for observatories on Earth......»»
