The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of a star and a spiral galaxy, both in the constellation Virgo. But the photo is an optical illusion.
The emission nebula, known as Sh2-284, is an immense region of gas and dust that fuels new star formation. It lacks elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, much like the environment of the early universe.
Young stars enveloped in a transformative cocoon of gas shine brightly in a new image from the Hubble Space Telescope.
A recent image from the Hubble Space Telescope captures a gorgeous spiral galaxy bursting with new star formation.
It's a new type of three-body problem for astronomers, who used the Hubble Space Telescope to determine that twin asteroids in the Kuiper Belt could be triplets.
The Hubble Space Telescope captured the colorful, wispy clouds near the Tarantula Nebula, one of the most luminous and active star-forming regions in our galactic backyard.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope spotted a cosmic Bullseye galaxy, revealing evidence of a rare kind of galactic collision.
The most detailed panorama of the entire Andromeda galaxy is packed with science that could revolutionize our understanding of how spiral galaxies across the universe form and evolve.
Measurements of the distance to the Coma Cluster of galaxies find that it is millions of light years closer than the standard model predicts.
A recent photo from the Hubble Space Telescope captures two protostars called HOPS 150 and HOPS 153, which are located in the stellar nursery of the Orion Nebula.
