The universe would be a pretty boring place without stars. Without them, the universe would remain a diffuse plasma of mostly hydrogen and helium from the big bang.

In this Hubble image, a super-hot, massive star is blowing an enormous bubble into space. Fittingly named the Bubble Nebula, this beautiful cosmic object is roughly seven light-years across and resides 7,100 light-years from...

This is a three-dimensional trip into a giant "mountain" of cool hydrogen and dust in the Carina Nebula, a vast star-forming region in our Milky Way Galaxy. The nebula is too far away for Hubble Space Telescope to see in true three...

The Hubble Space Telescope is well known for its incredible images. But what of those among us who are visually impaired? To help spread awareness as a part of World Sight Day, this video is meant to share the...

A hypnotizing vortex? A peek into a witch’s cauldron? A giant space-spider web?



In reality, it’s a look at the red giant star CW Leonis as photographed by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope — just...

This new Hubble Space Telescope view of Jupiter, taken on June 27, 2019, reveals the giant planet's trademark Great Red Spot, and a more intense color palette in the clouds swirling in Jupiter's turbulent atmosphere than seen in...

This sonification of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (2014) image plays a note for each galaxy when it emitted the light captured in this image. The farther away the galaxy is, the longer its light has traveled before reaching the...

This video explores the origins of life on Earth, focusing on the early oceans and the role of organic compounds. It discusses the first living organisms and highlights the emergence of autotrophs. This video is part of the 11-part...

About 5,000 light-years from Earth, the stunning nebula NGC 2392 formed after the demise of a star like our Sun.



In this sonification, the image is scanned clockwise like a radar. The radius is mapped to pitch, so light...

On April 24, 2020, the Hubble Space Telescope celebrated its 30th year in orbit by premiering a never-before-seen view of two stunning nebulas named NGC 2020 and NGC 2014. Even after all these years, Hubble continues to...

Like the speed of an advancing race car driver, the winds in the outermost “lane” of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot are accelerating – a discovery only made possible by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which has monitored the...

The majestic spiral galaxy NGC 1300’s arms hold blue clusters of young stars, pink clouds of star formation, and dark lanes of dust.



To represent this image with sound, scientists assigned louder volume to brighter light....

When the war in Ukraine began, support packages enjoyed near universal bipartisan support in the House and Senate. However that sentiment has waned over time, particularly among Republicans. So why is this? And will this consensus...

The Crab Nebula, created by a supernova seen nearly a thousand years ago, is one of the sky's most famous "star wrecks." For decades, most astronomers have regarded it as the steadiest beacon at X-ray energies, but data from orbiting...

Black holes are often described as the monsters of the universe—tearing apart stars, consuming anything that comes too close, and holding light captive. Detailed evidence from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, however, shows a...

Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, we have seen nebula like never before. But are they really as colourful as Hubble makes out?

What about our neighbors in the milky way? What is a Nebula? The Milky Way, Our Galaxy, Part 1

The scientific community is incredibly excited to have these two highly complementary observatories operating together. With their collaboration, they will push the boundaries of knowledge on the backdrop of a...

Nebulae are some of the most resplendent objects in the universe, but it’s easy to confuse which one is an “emission nebula,” and which one is an “absorption nebula.”

Why are stars different brightness, colours and sizes? A look at the main sequence of stars, and what makes stars different from each other.

The Hubble Space Telescope has made over 1.5 million observations since its launch in 1990, capturing stunning subjects such as the Eagle Nebula and producing data that has been featured...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has determined the size of the largest icy comet nucleus ever found. And, it’s big! With a diameter of approximately 80 miles across, it’s about 50 times larger than typical comets. Its...

Delving further into Earth's history, we explore the Precambrian era, the longest era spanning nearly 4 billion years and accounting for over 85% of our planet's history. Join us as we uncover remnants of this ancient era in North...
