Science Release: Hubble explores the origins of modern galaxies 15 Aug 2013 | 06:00 pm
Astronomers have used observations from Hubble’s CANDELS survey to explore the sizes, shapes, and colours of distant galaxies over the last 80% of the Universe’s history. In the Universe today galaxie...
Science Release: Hubble finds source of Magellanic Stream 8 Aug 2013 | 07:00 pm
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have solved the 40-year-old mystery of the origin of the Magellanic Stream, a long ribbon of gas stretching nearly halfway around the Milky Way. N...
Science Release: When galaxies switch off 1 Aug 2013 | 06:00 pm
Some galaxies hit a point in their lives when their star formation is snuffed out, and they become "quenched". Quenched galaxies in the distant past appear to be much smaller than the quenched galaxie...
Science Release: Hubble spots azure blue planet 11 Jul 2013 | 06:00 pm
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have, for the first time, determined the true colour of a planet orbiting another star. If seen up close this planet, known as HD 189733b, would b...
Photo Release: Hubble spots galaxies in close encounter 20 Jun 2013 | 09:00 pm
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has produced this vivid image of a pair of interacting galaxies known as Arp 142. When two galaxies stray too close to each other they begin to interact, causing sp...
Photo Release: Most detailed observations ever of the Ring Nebula 23 May 2013 | 07:00 pm
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has produced the most detailed observations ever of the Ring Nebula (Messier 57). This image reveals intricate structure only hinted at in previous observations, an...

Science Release: Hubble finds dead stars "polluted" with planetary debris 9 May 2013 | 07:00 pm
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has found signs of Earth-like planets in an unlikely place: the atmospheres of a pair of burnt-out stars in a nearby star cluster. The white dwarf stars are being p...

Science Release: Entire galaxies feel the heat from newborn stars 25 Apr 2013 | 06:00 pm
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have shown for the first time that bursts of star formation have a major impact far beyond the boundaries of their host galaxy. These energetic ev...
