 3SpiralGalaxy.jpg 1.71 MB Spiral Galaxy NGC 4414 - Dr. Wendy L. Freedman, Carnegie Observatory, STScI/AURA, NASA (Apr./June, 1995; Apr. 1999) The spiral Galaxy NGC 4414 is located about 60 million light-years away. As with most spirals, the central region primarily contains older yellow and red stars. The outer spiral arms are bluer because new blue stars continue to form there. Hubble can clearly see individual stars that are usually impossible to make out. |
 4EagleNebula.jpg 1.48 MB Eagle Nebula - Dr. Jeff J. Hester, Dr. Paul A. Scowen, Arizona State University, STScI/AURA, NASA (1995) These eerie, dark pillar-like structures are actually columns of cool interstellar hydrogen gas and dust that are also incubators for new stars. They are part of the "Eagle Nebula", a nearby star-forming region 7,000 light-years away in the constellation Serpens. The picture was taken on April 1, 1995 with the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. |
 2PlanetMontage.jpg 1.98 MB Planet Montage - Dr. Larry Esposito, Dr. Steven W. Lee, University of Colorado; Dr. Philip B. James, University of Toledo; Dr. John T. Trauger, (JPL) Jet Propulsion Laboratory; Dr. Harold A. Weaver, Johns Hopkins University; Dr. Robin W. Evans, OAO Corporation; Dr. Erich Karkoschka, University of Arizona; Dr. Lawrence A. Stromovsky, University of Wisconsin; Dr. Alan Stern, Southwest Research Institute; Dr. Marc W. Buie, Lowell Observatory & ESA; Dr. T. Ed Smith, STScI/AURA, NASA Hubble has viewed all the planets beyond Earth except Mercury, which is too near the Sun for Hubble to risk an observation. The planets in this montage are shown to scale. |
 1HubbleDeepField.jpg 1.87 MB Hubble Deep Field - Dr. Robert E. Williams, STScI/AURA, NASA (Dec. 18-28, 1995) Hubble’s longest exposures are like core samples of the universe, recording galaxies at many different distances. This is one of the deepest core samples ever taken. In the foreground are a few nearby stars in our Milky Way galaxy. The rest of the objects are distant galaxies, extending from a billion to more than 10 billion light-years away. |
 5RingNebula.jpg 472 KB Ring Nebula - Dr. Howard E. Bond, Dr. Keith S. Noll, STScI/AURA, NASA (Oct. 1998) Hubble captured the sharpest view yet of the most famous planetary nebula: the Ring nebula. |
 6SN1987A.jpg 1.73 MB SN1987A - Dr. Robert K. Kirshner, Harvard-Smithsonian, CFA, STScI/AURA, NASA Glittering stars and wisps of gas create a breathtaking backdrop for the self-destruction of a massive star, called supernova 1987A, in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby galaxy. Astronomers in the Southern hemesphere witnessed the brilliant explosion of this star on Feb. 23, 1987. Shown in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image, the supernova remnant, surrounded by inner and outer rings of material, is set in a forest of ethereal, diffuse clouds of gas. |
 7HourglassNebula.jpg 273 KB Hourglass Nebula - Dr. Raghvendra Sahai, Dr. John T. Trauger, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, STScI/AURA, NASA (1996) Hubbles view of the Hourglass nebula shows structural details that ground-based telescopes havent seen. Astronomers study these features for clues. |
 8M29.jpg 212 KB M2-9 - Dr. Vincent Icke, Sterrewacht Leiden, STScI/AURA, NASA (1997) Hubble sees supersonic exhaust from Nebula M2-9. It is a striking example of a "butterfly" or a bipolar planetary nebula. Another more revealing name might be the "Twin Jet Nebula.” |
