Halloween is scarier with Hubble! What looks like two glowing eyes and a crooked carved smile is a snapshot of the early stages of a collision between two galaxies. The entire view is nearly 109,000 light-years...

From an Earth-based perspective, Mercury passes between our planet and the sun only about 13 times a century. May 9, 2016, will be the last opportunity to see the event, known as a transit, until 2019.

Atlantis and the STS-125 crew lifted off on a mission on May 11, to upgrade the world's most famous telescope.



Goddard plays a major role in the Hubble servicing mission. Astronauts trained with sophisticated Hubble models...

On August 1, 2008 a rare total solar eclipse will appear in the skies over parts of Canada, Greenland, Russia, Mongolia, and China. During this spectacular event, the moon will cross in front of the sun, completely blocking out the...

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...

NASA's GLAST mission is an astrophysics and particle physics partnership, developed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy, along with important contributions from academic institutions and partners in...

Galileo Galilei is known as the “father of modern science.” Fascinated by gravity, motion, and the movement of heavenly bodies, Galileo’s work influences how we understand our own world and the solar system. His contributions include...

Using powerful telescopes, in space and on the ground, astronomers have now confirmed more than 5,000 exoplanets – planets beyond our solar system. But it’s just a fraction of the likely hundreds of billions of such planets in our...

This video explains how telescopes can act as time machines, allowing us to see objects in space as they appeared millions of years ago. By measuring distances in light years and understanding the speed of light, scientists can observe...

Ever wonder what it's like to be part of a NASA team? Well, three student interns have been given the opportunity of a lifetime. They were asked to create a major component for the Balloon Experimental Twin Telescope for Infrared...

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...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled a spooky new image staring out from the depths of the cosmos. The new image reveals the twin galaxies AM 2026-424 — a pair of interacting galaxies that may foreshadow our Milky...

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...

NASA’s Thermal Blanket Lab is a vital part of ensuring that the important equipment that we send into space remains protected from getting either too hot or too cold. Paula Cain is one of the talented...

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...

A new video miniseries explores the intricate world of operating the Hubble Space Telescope.

In Hubble – Eye in the Sky, viewers get an inside look at the challenges of operating the telescope, along with an...
