Zoom into Galaxy Cluster Abell 1689 and a Remote Dusty Galaxy | Hubble

A zoom into the galaxy cluster Abell 1689. The NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope, with a boost from the natural gravitational lensing of this cluster, can faintly detect the remote galaxy A1689-zD1 seen just 700 million years after the beginning of our Universe. This object has been detected by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and had its distance measured using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT).

Distant Dusty Galaxy A1689-zD1 behind Galaxy Cluster Abell 1689 | Hubble

Distant Dusty Galaxy A1689-zD1 behind Galaxy Cluster Abell 1689 | Hubble

This spectacular view from the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope shows the rich galaxy cluster Abell 1689. The huge concentration of mass bends light coming from more distant objects and can increase their total apparent brightness and make them visible. One such object, A1689-zD1, is located in the box—although it is still so faint that it is barely seen in this picture.

New observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) have revealed that this object is a dusty galaxy seen when the Universe was just 700 million years old.

This image from the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope shows the globular cluster Messier 9. Hubble’s image resolves stars right into the center of the cluster, and clearly shows they have different colors. Redder colors signify lower surface temperatures, while blue stars are extremely hot.

Yellow Hypergiant Star HR 5171: Artist's Impression | ESO

Yellow Hypergiant Star HR 5171: Artist's Impression | ESO

This artist's animation shows the yellow hypergiant star HR 5171. This is a very rare type of star and only a dozen are known in our galaxy. Its size is over 1,300 times that of the Sun—one of the ten biggest stars found so far. 

Observations with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope Interferometer have shown that it is actually a double star, with the companion in contact with the main star.

Clash of the Galactic Titans | Hubble

Clash of the Galactic Titans | Hubble

A cataclysmic cosmic collision takes center stage. This image features the interacting galaxy pair IC 1623, which lies around 275 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus (The Whale). The two galaxies are in the final stages of merging, and astronomers expect a powerful inflow of gas to ignite a frenzied burst of star formation in the resulting compact starburst galaxy. 

This interacting pair of galaxies is a familiar sight; Hubble captured IC 1623 in 2008 using two filters at optical and infrared wavelengths using the Advanced Camera for Surveys. This new image incorporates new data from Wide Field Camera 3, and combines observations taken in eight filters spanning infrared to ultraviolet wavelengths to reveal the finer details of IC 1623. Future observations of the galaxy pair with the NASA/European Space Agency/Canadian Space Agency James Webb Space Telescope will shed more light on the processes powering extreme star formation in environments such as IC 1623.

A Diverse Collection of Galaxies: Galaxy Cluster ACO S 295 | Hubble

A Diverse Collection of Galaxies: Galaxy Cluster ACO S 295 | Hubble

This packed Hubble image showcases the galaxy cluster ACO S 295, as well as a jostling crowd of background galaxies and foreground stars. Galaxies of all shapes and sizes populate this image, ranging from stately spirals to fuzzy ellipticals. As well as a range of sizes, this galactic menagerie boasts a range of orientations, with spiral galaxies such as the one at the center of this image appearing almost face on, and some edge-on spiral galaxies visible only as thin slivers of light.

The cluster dominates the center of this image, both visually and physically. The huge mass of the galaxy cluster has gravitationally lensed the background galaxies, distorting and smearing their shapes. As well as providing astronomers with a natural magnifying glass with which to study distant galaxies, gravitational lensing has subtly framed the center of this image, producing a visually striking scene.

The Phantom Galaxy (M74): Infrared (Webb) & Optical (Hubble) Views Combined

The Phantom Galaxy (M74): Infrared (Webb) & Optical (Hubble) Views Combined 

M74, also known as the Phantom Galaxy, shines at its brightest in this combined optical/mid-infrared image, featuring data from both the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and the NASA/European Space Agency/Canadian Space Agency James Webb Space Telescope.

With Hubble’s venerable Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and Webb’s powerful Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) capturing a range of wavelengths, this new image has remarkable depth. The red colors mark dust threaded through the arms of the galaxy, lighter oranges being areas of hotter dust. The young stars throughout the arms and the nuclear core are picked out in blue. Heavier, older stars towards the galaxy’s center are shown in cyan and green, projecting a spooky glow from the core of the Phantom Galaxy. Bubbles of star formation are also visible in pink across the arms. Such a variety of galactic features is rare to see in a single image.

Scientists combine data from telescopes operating across the electromagnetic spectrum to truly understand astronomical objects. In this way, data from Hubble and Webb compliment each other to provide a comprehensive view of the spectacular M74 galaxy.

NASA Artemis I Moon Rocket Launch: Reschedule Pending | Kennedy Space Center

NASA Artemis I Moon Rocket Launch: Reschedule Pending | Kennedy Space Center

A NASA helicopter flies past the agency’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard atop the mobile launcher at Launch Pad 39B, Monday, Aug. 29, 2022, as the launch countdown progressed at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA’s Artemis I flight test is the first integrated test of the agency’s deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, SLS rocket, and supporting ground systems. 

The launch director halted today’s Artemis I launch attempt at approximately 8:34 a.m. EDT. The Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft remain in a safe and stable configuration. Launch controllers were continuing to evaluate why a bleed test to get the RS-25 engines on the bottom of the core stage to the proper temperature range for liftoff was not successful, and ran out of time in the two-hour launch window. Engineers are continuing to gather additional data.
