Galactic collisions abound in the universe, as Hubble has shown repeatedly. (NASA, ESA, the Hubble Heritage (STScI/AURA)-ESA/Hubble Collaboration and A. Evans ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has once again dazzled scientists and stargazers alike with a striking image of a galaxy once thought lost to the cosmos. This galaxy, NGC 4535, located in the Virgo ...

The image’s subject is the galaxy cluster MACS0416, roughly 4.3 billion light-years from here. In point of fact, it’s actually two smaller galaxy clusters in the process of smashing into one another.

As if searching through the cosmos like a detective on an intense investigation looking for an ancient piece of evidence, the ...

In 1990, a new eye into the cosmos launched from Kennedy Space Center. Hubble, a revolutionary new telescope, would soon bring a level of clarity and wonder to scientists and citizens alike. Hovering ...
