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......»»

How MIRI became Webb"s coolest instrument
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope is widely referred to as the successor to the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. In reality, it is the successor to a lot more than that. With the inclusion of the Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI), Webb also be.....»»
Hubble captures a glowing bridge of stars in Wild’s Triplet
This week's image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows two of a set of three interacting galaxies called Arp 248......»»
NASA Is Studying a Private Mission to Boost Hubble"s Orbit. Is It Worth the Risk?
SpaceX and the entrepreneur Jared Isaacman are pursuing a plan to rescue the iconic Hubble Space Telescope from a fiery plunge into Earth’s atmosphere.....»»
Spooky cobwebbed Hubble image helps investigate dark matter
With Halloween coming up, the Hubble Space Telescope team is celebrating by releasing a new Hubble image showing the dark cobwebs of galaxy cluster Abell 611......»»
NASA"s Webb may have just seen 2 galaxies merging in the early universe
A long time ago, astronomer Dan Coe discovered a galaxy far, far away… so far, it was considered to be perhaps the most distant in the universe. Little did he know that what he saw with the Hubble Space Telescope then, MACS0647-JD, might actua.....»»
Hubble captures rare "light echo" from star explosion
When a star explodes (a supernova), it sends its intense burst of light out in all directions. On rare occasions, in the months and years that follow, rings of light or "light echoes" spread out from the original supernova position......»»
Hubble celebrates the spooky season with Abell 611, a cobweb of galaxies held together by a dark secret
In celebration of Halloween, Hubble brings you this inky image of the galaxy cluster Abell 611, located over 1000 megaparsecs, or roughly 3.2 billion light years, from Earth. Like all galaxy clusters, the continued existence of Abell 611 poses a myst.....»»
Hubble captures a tempestuous pair of Herbig-Haro objects
This week's image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a pair of objects called Herbig-Haro objects, which were captured by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3......»»
Crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid caused it to form twin tails
A few weeks ago NASA's DART mission crashed into an asteroid. Followup observations from Hubble show a surprising finding: the asteroid now has a second tail......»»
Hubble views a turbulent stellar nursery
The lives of newborn stars are tempestuous, as this image of the Herbig-Haro objects HH 1 and HH 2 from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope depicts. Both objects are in the constellation Orion and lie around 1,250 light-years from Earth. HH 1 is the.....»»
NASA"s Hubble spots twin tails in new image after DART impact
Two tails of dust ejected from the Didymos-Dimorphos asteroid system are seen in new images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, documenting the lingering aftermath of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) impact......»»
DART mission successfully shifted its target’s orbit
The asteroid Dimorphos had its 12-hour orbit shortened by a half-hour. Enlarge / A recent Hubble photo shows the 10,000 km tail of debris left behind by DART's impact. (credit: NASA/ESA/STScI/Hubble) On Tuesday, NASA announced.....»»
Hubble snaps a pair of interacting galaxies
The two interacting galaxies making up the pair known as Arp-Madore 608-333 seem to float side by side in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Though they appear serene and unperturbed, the two are subtly warping one another through a.....»»
Two interacting galaxies are warped by gravitational forces in Hubble image
Hubble snaps a pair of interacting galaxies, close enough to be distorted by tremendous gravitational forces......»»
Telescope team-up sees Hubble and Webb working together
Scientists have combined data from two powerful telescopes to illuminate the dust in a distant galaxy pair......»»
Webb, Hubble team up to trace interstellar dust within a galactic pair
This article highlights data from Webb science in progress, which has not yet been through the peer-review process. Here, Webb interdisciplinary scientist Rogier Windhorst and his team discuss their observations......»»
A possible explanation for Uranus"s odd tilt angle and opposite spin
A small team of researchers with members from Sorbonne Université, the University of Maryland College Park, the University of Pisa and Université Côte d'Azur has developed a theory to explain the odd tilt of Uranus and its opposite spin. The group.....»»
Supercomputer Simulations Just Gave Us a New Explanation for How the Moon Was Created
