Hubble's Universe

Take a breathtaking journey into the future, five billion years from now, to see the ultimate fate of the Solar System. This gem from HubbleCast showcases stunning Hubble imagery of the death throes of Sun-like stars.

Giant galaxy clusters are the most massive structures in the Universe. Using the magnification effect caused by their mass, Hubble can look deeper into the Universe than ever before.

One of the greatest scientific endeavors ever launched. Hubble sees back to the early days of the universe. Revel in this big picture look at what Hubble does, adapted from Hubblecast.

Hubble's 23rd Anniversary image is a stunning new image of one of the most distinctive objects in our skies: the Horsehead Nebula. It shows the nebula in a whole new light, revealing a beautiful, delicate structure that is normally obscured by dust.

A new Hubble Space Telescope image shows off the Twin Jet Nebula, highlighting the nebula�۪s shells and its knots of expanding gas in striking detail. Two iridescent lobes of material stretch outwards from a central star system.

This video explores a phenomenon called gravitational lensing. The gravitational force of a galaxy, full of stars, gas, dark matter, and dust, is so enormous that it affects the region it sits in and distorts the very fabric of the surrounding space.

Revel in some of the highest resolution images from the Hubble Space Telescope. Experience anew the detail in these inspiring images, snatched from distant galaxies, exploding stars, brilliant gas clouds, and black holes.

NGC 5189 is the remnant of a dead sun-like star in our galaxy. This planetary nebula has a chaotic shape, like a ribbon in space. How it got that way is a long-running mystery recently unraveled by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have captured infrared-light images of a churning region of star birth 6,400 light-years away.

The Hubble Space Telescope has returned to one of its most famous landmarks: the Eagle Nebula, known as the Pillars of Creation. The revolutionary space telescope has delivered a new visible-light image as well as a revealing infrared image.

Striking observations from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of a spiral galaxy moving through the heart of a galaxy cluster named Abell 3627. Hot x-ray winds from this cluster are violently ripping the spiral's entrails out into space, like a stiff headwind, leaving bright blue streaks.

Before NASA�۪s New Horizons probe flew past Pluto in July 2015, almost all of the information scientists had about this mysterious dwarf planet came from observations made by Hubble.

The famed Tarantula Nebula is explored in a detailed image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The Large Magellanic Cloud, or LMC, is a small companion galaxy of our own Milky Way. It can be seen with the naked eye, as a faint grey blotch in the constellation of Dorado.

The famous Ring Nebula's distinctive shape makes it a popular illustration. New observations of the glowing gas shroud add a new twist.

A vivid new image of colliding galaxies known as Arp 142. When two galaxies stray too close to each other they begin to interact, causing spectacular changes in both objects.

This surveys the range of burning questions being addressed by Hubble: how far can Hubble see? How does Hubble study black holes? What has Hubble taught us about planets beyond our solar system?
