A decade of observations by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has produced the sharpest and most detailed images of the Andromeda galaxy. Zoom in and explore.
When the Space Telescope Science Institute revealed the Hubble Deep Field to the public, it was difficult to contain the anticipation. The institute made a 10-foot poster of the cosmic vista, and ...
Hubble gazes at galaxies all the time—the famous Hubble Deep Field images alone show countless galaxies in faraway parts of the universe. Andromeda, however, is much closer and takes up more of ...
Surrounding the Andromeda galaxy, three dozen tiny galaxies aren't behaving the way scientists expected. NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope has trained on Andromeda for a deep dive into how its ...
To commemorate Hubble's discovery of a Cepheid variable star, which he used to measure large cosmic distances, in the neighbouring Andromeda galaxy 100 years ago, astronomers revisited it on four ...
NASA's amazing Hubble 'eXtreme Deep Field' photograph shows 5,500 galaxies and took 10 years to build Hubble returned to the same target more than 50 times over the past decade, racking up an ...
This image, called the Hubble eXtreme Deep Field (XDF), had a total of over two million seconds of exposure time, and was the deepest image of the universe ever made, combining data from previous ...
The Andromeda galaxy, our cosmic neighbor, is far more turbulent than previously thought. A new survey by the Hubble Space Telescope has mapped the chaotic history of Andromeda’s dwarf galaxy ...
Here’s how it works. A panoramic view of the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, located 2.5 million light-years away, requiring over 600 Hubble overlapping snapshots to stitch together.
Since Hubble’s launch, astronomers have discovered over 1 trillion galaxies, but Andromeda stands out as the closest and most significant to our Milky Way. Visible to the naked eye on clear ...
