Zooming in on XZ Tauri Star System | Hubble

This video begins with a ground-based view of the night sky, before zooming in on multiple star system XZ Tauri as the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope sees it.

Distance: 450 light years

XZ Tauri is blowing a hot bubble of gas into the surrounding space, which is filled with bright and beautiful clumps that are emitting strong winds and jets. These objects illuminate the region, creating a truly dramatic scene.

Jets, Bubbles and Bursts of Light in Taurus | Hubble

The NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope has snapped a striking view of a multiple star system called XZ Tauri, its neighbor HL Tauri and several nearby young stellar objects. XZ Tauri is blowing a hot bubble of gas into the surrounding space, which is filled with bright and beautiful clumps that are emitting strong winds and jets. These objects illuminate the region, creating a truly dramatic scene.

NASA's Artemis I Moon Rocket Mission: We Are Ready

NASA's Artemis I Moon Rocket Mission: We Are Ready

The journey of half a million miles—the first flight of the Artemis Generation—is about to begin. The uncrewed Artemis I mission will jump-start humanity’s return to the Moon with the thunderous liftoff of NASA’s powerful new Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft. This critical flight test will send Orion farther than any human-rated spacecraft has ever flown, putting new systems and processes to the test and lighting the way for the crew missions to come. Artemis I is ready for departure—and, together with our partners around the world, we are ready to return to the Moon, with our sights on Mars and beyond.

Pan on Peculiar Galaxy NGC 3256 | Hubble

Pan on Peculiar Galaxy NGC 3256 | Hubble

This video pans over NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope observations of the starburst galaxy NGC 3256, located about 100 million light-years from Earth. The galaxy is the result of a merger between galaxies with similar masses. Although the collision is estimated to have happened 500 million years ago, the galaxy still bears the marks of this event—luminous tails of gas and dust surround the galaxy and in its center, new stars are born at a rapid rate.

Zoom-in on Peculiar Galaxy NGC 3256 | Hubble

This video zooms in on the spiral galaxy NGC 3256, about 100 million light-years away. It starts with a view of the night sky focused on the constellation of Vela (The Sails), as seen from the ground. It then zooms through observations from the Digitized Sky Survey 2, and ends with a view of the galaxy obtained with the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope.

The Peculiar Galaxy NGC 3256 in Vela | Hubble

This image, taken with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) and the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), both installed on the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope, shows the peculiar galaxy NGC 3256. The galaxy is about 100 million light-years from Earth and is the result of a past galactic merger, which created its distorted appearance. As such, NGC 3256 provides an ideal target to investigate starbursts that have been triggered by galaxy mergers.

Pan across Merging Galaxies NGC 5256 | Hubble

This video pans over NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope observations of the galaxy NGC 5256, about 350 million light-years from Earth. The galaxy is actually the result of two galaxies merging. The pan shows that the galaxy is composed of two disc galaxies whirling around each other in the last stage of a cosmic collision. In the process the gas from within the galaxies—colored in red in this image—is thrown into space and performs a slow dance around the merging galactic nuclei.

An Ongoing Cosmic Collision 350 Million Light Years Away | Hubble

An Ongoing Cosmic Collision 350 Million Light Years Away | Hubble

NGC 5256 is a pair of galaxies in its final stage of merging. The new data make the gas and dust being whirled around inside and outside the galaxy more visible than ever before. It was previously observed by Hubble as part of a collection of 59 images of merging galaxies, released on Hubble’s 18th anniversary in April 2008. 

Distance: about 350 million light years

This image is composed of data gathered with the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide-Field Camera 3.

The Hubble Space Telescope: Over Three Decades of Discovery

The Hubble Space Telescope: Three Decades of Discovery

This montage of more than 600 images from the Hubble Space Telescope celebrates the telescope’s over 30 years of discovery. From our own cosmic neighborhood to the far reaches of the universe, Hubble has opened our eyes to breathtaking new views of the cosmos. The rapid sequence echoes Hubble’s fast pace of exploration. Though numerous, these images are just a glimpse of the data collected by Hubble over the past 30 years, and only a tiny sliver of our vast universe.

Orion’s Belt and The Flame Nebula | ESO

This spectacular visible light wide-field view of part of the famous belt of the great celestial hunter Orion shows the region of the sky around the Flame Nebula. The whole image is filled with glowing gas clouds illuminated by hot blue young stars. It was created from photographs in red and blue light forming part of the Digitized Sky Survey 2. The field of view is approximately three degrees.

A Cosmic Flame | ESO

A Cosmic Flame | ESO

Sparkling at the edge of a giant cloud of gas and dust, the Flame Nebula, also referred to as NGC 2024, is in fact the hideout of a cluster of young, blue, massive stars, whose light sets the gas ablaze. Located 1,300 light-years away towards the constellation of Orion, the nebula owes its typical color to the glow of hydrogen atoms, heated by the stars. The latter are obscured by a dark, forked dusty structure in the centre of the image and are only revealed by infrared observations.

This image is based on data acquired with the 1.5-metre Danish telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile, combining three exposures in the filters B (40 seconds), V (80 seconds) and R (40 seconds).

The Flame Nebula: Wide-field View | ESO

This VISTA image shows the spectacular star-forming region known as the Flame Nebula, or NGC 2024, in the constellation of Orion (the Hunter) and its surroundings. In views of this evocative object in visible light the core of the nebula is completely hidden behind obscuring dust, but in this VISTA view, taken in infrared light, the cluster of very young stars at the object’s heart is revealed. The wide-field VISTA view also includes the glow of the reflection nebula NGC 2023, just below center, and the ghostly outline of the Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) towards the lower right. The bright bluish star towards the right is one of the three bright stars forming the Belt of Orion. 

Distance: 1,500 light years

The image was created from VISTA images taken through J, H and Ks filters in the near-infrared part of the spectrum. The image shows the full area of the VISTA field and is one degree by 1.5 degrees in extent. The total exposure time was 14 minutes.
