Image: Hubble captures spiral galaxy NGC 1566
This vibrant Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy NGC 1566, sometimes informally referred to as the "Spanish Dancer Galaxy." Like the subject of another recent image, NGC 1566 is a weakly-barred or intermediate spiral galaxy. This.....»»
New research shows quasars can be buried in their host galaxies
A new study reveals that supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, known as quasars, can sometimes be obscured by dense clouds of gas and dust in their host galaxies......»»
Hubble provides unique ultraviolet view of Jupiter
This newly released image from the NASA Hubble Space Telescope shows the planet Jupiter in a color composite of ultraviolet wavelengths. Released in honor of Jupiter reaching opposition, which occurs when the planet and the sun are in opposite sides.....»»
