Two very different galaxies are featured in this space wallpaper taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope ... Although they overlap as seen from Earth, there is no evidence of new star ...

One of the most spectacular galaxies in Earth's sky is the subject of a new image release to help celebrate 35 years of Hubble operations. The Sombrero Galaxy (Messier 104), located some 31 ...

So it’s exciting when an Earth-sized planet is discovered — and the Hubble Space Telescope has recently confirmed that a nearby planet, which is diminutive by exoplanet standards, is 1.07 ...

ESA/Hubble & NASA, A. Nota ... located relatively nearby at just 5,300 light-years from Earth. These environments act as nurseries for new stars, as regions of the dust and gas collapse to ...

Launched on April 24, 1990, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has orbited at about 320 miles above Earth’s surface, according to the space agency’s website. The telescope journeyed into space ...

The Hubble observations revealed that LTT 1445Ac has a diameter 1.07 times that of Earth, meaning it’s a rocky world with roughly the same gravity as our own. The similarities stop there ...

More than that, Hubble determined that it's almost exactly the size of Earth and is just 22 light-years away. Don't pack your bags yet, though. The exoplanet, cataloged as LTT 1445Ac, was first ...

the observatory could reenter Earth’s atmosphere as early as 2037—a grim fate that the agency has been anticipating for many years. When the last crew of astronauts visited Hubble for repairs ...

By the mid-to-late 2030s, Hubble’s orbital distance from the Earth would have become too small to keep it in space. Scientists estimated there was a 99.6 per cent chance it would be destroyed as ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a neighboring galaxy located around 11 million light-years from Earth. The highly irregular galaxy, ESO 174-1, resembles a hazy cloud against a dark ...

By analyzing the Hubble data, the researchers were able to determine that LTT 1445Ac did make a clean transit of its star and is only 1.07 times the size of the Earth. That may seem like a close ...
