Sep 21, 2006 · This view of nearly 10,000 galaxies is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The snapshot includes galaxies of various ages, sizes, shapes, and colours. The smallest, reddest galaxies, about 100, may be among the most distant known, existing when the universe was just 800 million years old.

May 20, 2024 · Flip through Hubble's numerous Flickr albums and see astronauts at work in space, behind the scenes of mission operations, and Hubble's iconic images from nebulae to gravitational lens. M57, or the Ring Nebula, is a planetary nebula, …

The Hubble Deep Field (HDF) is an image of a small region in the constellation Ursa Major, constructed from a series of observations by the Hubble Space Telescope. It covers an area about 2.6 arcminutes on a side, about one 24-millionth of the whole sky, which is equivalent in angular size to a tennis ball at a distance of 100 metres. [ 1 ]

Jan 21, 2025 · This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy IC 4709 located around 240 million light-years away in the... Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have assembled a comprehensive picture …

Jul 27, 2024 · The Hubble Deep Field covers a piece of sky about 1/13th the diameter of the full Moon. The Hubble Space Telescope has made over 1.6 million observations since its launch in 1990, capturing stunning subjects such as the Eagle Nebula and producing data that is featured in almost 21,000 scientific papers.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image, which is even more dramatic than fiction, captures the chaotic activity atop a pillar of gas and dust, three light-years tall, which is being eaten away by the brilliant light from nearby bright stars.

Jun 3, 2014 · This portrait of our universe's history is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (or HUDF). It is a minuscule patch of sky first targeted by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2002 and revisited over and over again since then.

Sep 30, 2022 · In 2014, astronomers released the most colorful and comprehensive picture of the evolving universe ever captured by Hubble. The observation, called the Ultraviolet Coverage of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, provides the missing link in star formation.

Jul 31, 2023 · Enjoy some of the iconic astronomical images captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope during its more than 30 years in orbit. The deepest X-ray image ever produced, obtained by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The central region of the image contains the...

By comparing Hubble Wide Field Camera 3 near-infrared exposures taken in 2009, 2012, and 2023, astronomers found evidence for flickering supermassive black holes in the hearts of early galaxies. One example is seen as a bright object in the inset.
