One of these missions is the Outer Planet Atmosphere Legacy (OPAL) project, which involves Hubble making yearly observations ...

The Hubble Telescope has spotted an unusual spiral galaxy – 76 million light-years away – that resembles an eye ...

In 1929 at the Mt. Wilson Observatory in California, Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies were moving away at high speeds. He was, like most people, unaware of LeMaitre's 1927 theory. But ...

New research suggests that a troubling disparity in the rate of expansion of the universe, known as the Hubble constant, may arise from the fact Earth sits in a vast underdense region of the cosmos.

Why it's so special: This iconic montage features images of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune captured between 2014 and 2024 as part of the Hubble Space Telescope's Outer Planet Atmospheres ...

NGC 5643 was also the subject of a previous Hubble image. The new image incorporates additional wavelengths of light, including the red color that is characteristic of gas heated by massive young ...

A grand spiral galaxy takes center stage in a new image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The galaxy, known as NGC 5643, is located roughly 40 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Lupus.

A new study led by Nobel laureate Adam Reiss at Johns Hopkins University offers the most accurate assessment yet, employing both Webb and Hubble to show that the so-called Hubble Tension may be real.

Let's take this one step by step. In 1929, American astronomer Edwin Hubble announced his discovery that galaxies scattered throughout the universe are moving away from each other — and that ...
