Photo Release : Hubble sees new star proclaiming its presence with cosmic light show

25 mars

Jets emerge from the cocoon of a newly forming star to blast across space, slicing through the gas and dust of a shining nebula, in this new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.

Science Release : Hubble finds that ageing brown dwarfs grow lonely

21 mars

It takes two to tango, but in the case of brown dwarfs that were once paired as binary systems, that relationship doesn’t last for very long, according to a recent survey using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.

Photo Release : Hubble tracks Jupiter&#39 ;s stormy weather

14 mars

The giant planet Jupiter, in all its banded glory, is revisited by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope in these latest images, taken on 5–6 January 2024, that capture both sides of the planet. Hubble monitors Jupiter and the other outer Solar System planets every year under the Outer Planet (…)

Science Release : Hubble finds water vapour in small exoplanet’s atmosphere

25 janvier

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope observed the smallest exoplanet where water vapour has been detected in its atmosphere. At only approximately twice Earth’s diameter, the planet GJ 9827d could be an example of potential planets with water-rich atmospheres elsewhere in our (…)

Science Release : Hubble finds weird home of farthest fast radio burst

9 janvier

A Fast Radio Burst (FRB) is a fleeting blast of energy that can – for a few milliseconds – outshine an entire galaxy. Over the past few years hundreds of FRBs have been detected. They pop off all over the sky like camera flashes at a stadium event, but the sources behind these intense bursts (…)

Science Release : Hubble observes a changing exoplanet atmosphere

4 janvier

An international team of astronomers has assembled and reprocessed observations of the exoplanet WASP-121 b that were collected with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope in the years 2016, 2018 and 2019. This provided them with a unique dataset that allowed them not only to analyse the (…)

Photo Release : Hubble watches spoke season on Saturn

Décembre 2023

This photo of Saturn was taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope on 22 October 2023, when the ringed planet was approximately 1365 million kilometres from Earth. Hubble’s ultra-sharp vision reveals a phenomenon called ring spokes.

Photo Release : A holiday globe of stars

Décembre 2023

To celebrate the holiday season, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured the galaxy known as UGC 8091, which resembles a sparkling festive snow globe. With a dazzling array of wavelengths of light captured by filters on Hubble’s premier scientific instruments, the millions of stars in (…)

Science Release : Hubble measures the size of the nearest transiting Earth-sized planet

Novembre 2023

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has measured the size of the nearest Earth-sized exoplanet that passes across the face of a neighbouring star. This alignment, called a transit, opens the door to follow-on studies to see what kind of atmosphere, if any, the rocky world might have.

Photo Release : Webb, Hubble Combine to Create Most Colourful View of Universe

Novembre 2023

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have united to study an expansive galaxy cluster known as MACS0416. The resulting panchromatic image combines visible and infrared light to assemble one of the most comprehensive views of the Universe ever (…)
