INTRODUCTION
HST is a space-based great observatory that observes at ultraviolet through near
infrared wavelengths. High resolution imaging and wide-ranging spectroscopic
capabilities enable forefront research across all domains of astrophysics. Time
on HST is awarded through an open peer-reviewed competition.
The Hubble Space Telescope's launch in 1990 sped humanity to one of its greatest
advances in that journey. Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth. Its position
above the atmosphere gives it a view of the universe that typically far
surpasses that of ground-based telescopes.
Thirty-two years since launch, the Hubble Space Telescope continues its role at
the forefront of astronomy, ranging from our own Solar System to the
high-redshift universe.
Through the middle of the next decade, HST will remain the only
space-based telescope providing spectroscopy and high-resolution imaging at UV,
optical, and near-infrared wavelengths. With the launch of JWST in 2021, the
bold science questions pursued with HST will be bolstered by the
complementary capabilities of the two observatories.
NGC 3627, part of the Hubble Space Telescope's Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey
(LEGUS), the sharpest, most comprehensive ultraviolet-light survey of
star-forming galaxies in the nearby universe. The images are a blend of
ultraviolet light and visible light from Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 and
Advanced Camera for Surveys.

NEWS: Hubble and @keckobservatory have found a “missing link” in planetary

Today in 2009, the fifth and final Hubble Servicing Mission (STS-125), released
Hubble to continue observing our universe. The STS-125 crew were the last people
to touch Hubble, having completed five spacewalks during the mission.

Hubble has precisely measured the expansion rate of the universe, which is
critical to estimating the age of the cosmos, and providing a basic test of
astronomers’ understanding of the universe’s evolution: bit.ly/3wgfsgC

They might appear like a pair of galaxies traveling through space together, but
NGC 4496A and NGC 4496B are very far apart and just happen to be aligned in our
view. A is 47 million light-years from Earth, while B is 212 million light-years
away. Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA.

Decisive evidence for supermassive black holes is one of Hubble’s most
significant scientific accomplishments. This 1994 image shows a huge jet

Who needs a deep breath? We suggest exploring galaxy NGC 1309. Bright blue areas
of star formation dot its spiral arms. Dust lanes follow the spiral structure
into a yellowish nucleus. End by looking for thousands of background galaxies.

This cluster is made up of around 150 differently colored galaxies. As space
continues to expand over billions of years, the light from blue galaxies will
stretch into infrared light. Credit: NASA, ESA, and Johan Richard (Caltech,

Hidden in Hubble archival data, a mysterious red dot was spotted in the middle
of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey-North (GOODS-North) area of the
sky. (1/6) 🧵
Apr 13
Hubble astronomers have uncovered a mysterious red dot among far-flung galaxies
that could be a missing link between early galaxies and the birth of
supermassive black holes. The object existed when the universe was just 750
million years old: fal.cn/3nLa0

The Hubble Space Telescope has precisely measured the size of the largest icy
comet nucleus ever seen by astronomers. And it’s BIG! (1/5) 🧵
Apr 12
Hubble has determined the size of the largest icy comet nucleus ever seen by
astronomers. And it’s big! The estimated diameter is 85 miles (137 kilometers)
across, making it about 50 times larger than typical comets: fal.cn/3nIGv
Apr 12
In 1998 astronomers captured a fleeting moment in the lifetime of a star: the
birth of a planetary nebula. The Stingray Nebula is the youngest known planetary
nebula and only lit up about 40 years ago: fal.cn/3nGVC

Many of the red galaxies in this cluster are redshifted. Their light traveled
billions of light-years from its origin, stretching as it moved through
expanding space, before reaching the Hubble Telescope’s detectors. Learn more
about this cluster here: fal.cn/3nDh8

Who can spot a tilted heart in this shot from @NOIRLabAstro? 💖 This scene

away. Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA.

Hubble provides a 3D, infrared-light view of the Horsehead Nebula in this
visualization. Formerly dark shadows become transparent wisps as infrared light
penetrates the thick dust clouds of the nebula. Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI 3D

Decisive evidence for supermassive black holes is one of Hubble’s most
significant scientific accomplishments. This 1994 image shows a huge jet
emanating from a spiraling disk of hot gas around the black hole in galaxy M87:

Who needs a deep breath? We suggest exploring galaxy NGC 1309. Bright blue areas
of star formation dot its spiral arms. Dust lanes follow the spiral structure
into a yellowish nucleus. End by looking for thousands of background galaxies.

This cluster is made up of around 150 differently colored galaxies. As space
continues to expand over billions of years, the light from blue galaxies will
stretch into infrared light. Credit: NASA, ESA, and Johan Richard (Caltech,

Hidden in Hubble archival data, a mysterious red dot was spotted in the middle
of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey-North (GOODS-North) area of the
sky. (1/6) 🧵

Hubble astronomers have uncovered a mysterious red dot among far-flung galaxies
that could be a missing link between early galaxies and the birth of
supermassive black holes. The object existed when the universe was just 750
million years old: fal.cn/3nLa0

The Hubble Space Telescope has precisely measured the size of the largest icy
comet nucleus ever seen by astronomers. And it’s BIG! (1/5) 🧵

Hubble has determined the size of the largest icy comet nucleus ever seen by
astronomers. And it’s big! The estimated diameter is 85 miles (137 kilometers)
across, making it about 50 times larger than typical comets: fal.cn/3nIGv

In 1998 astronomers captured a fleeting moment in the lifetime of a star: the
birth of a planetary nebula. The Stingray Nebula is the youngest known planetary
nebula and only lit up about 40 years ago: fal.cn/3nGVC

Many of the red galaxies in this cluster are redshifted. Their light traveled
billions of light-years from its origin, stretching as it moved through
expanding space, before reaching the Hubble Telescope’s detectors. Learn more

Who can spot a tilted heart in this shot from @NOIRLabAstro? 💖 This scene
spotlights the Antennae, two merging spiral galaxies. Hubble’s follow up helps
astronomers identify which star clusters were created in the collision:

Galaxy, meet quasar … waiiiit a minute. They can’t! Galaxy NGC 4319 (center) is
only 80 million light-years from Earth while Markarian 205 (top right) is 1
BILLION light-years away! Untangle the story—including why a spiral arm in NGC
4319 is misshapen: fal.cn/3m557

NEWS: Hubble and @keckobservatory have found a “missing link” in planetary
evolution. They observed two planets around two stars that are evaporating away
from so-called “mini-Neptunes” into large rocky bodies dubbed “super-Earths.”

Astronomers have found a pair of “missing links” in planetary evolution. They
have observed two mini-Neptunes—smaller gaseous planets—that are evaporating
away into large rocky bodies dubbed super-Earths, neither of which exists in our
solar system: fal.cn/3lRDV
