NASA's Webb Finds Planet-Forming Disks Lived Longer in Early Universe

Using Webb, researchers have confirmed the presence of planet-forming disks in NGC 346, and discovered that these disks are long-lived. The finding is causing scientists to rethink current models of planet formation.

Found: First Actively Forming Galaxy as Lightweight as Young Milky Way

Like fireflies “dancing” on a warm summer night, 10 distinct star clusters appear in observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. They are held in a cocoon of diffuse light emitted by other stars scattered around them. This galaxy,...

NASA's Hubble Celebrates Decade of Tracking Outer Planets

For a decade, Hubble's OPAL program has kept an eye on our solar system's outer planets, making global studies of their cloud coloration, activity, and atmospheric motion to understand the underlying mechanics of their weather and climate systems.

Hats Off to NASA's Webb: Sombrero Galaxy Dazzles in New Image

There’s somewhat of an inside joke in the astronomical community that researchers aren’t the best at naming things. For example, the first star observed by Webb is named HD 84406. Not so catchy. Neither is galaxy cluster MACS0416, a deep field...

NASA's Hubble Finds Sizzling Details About Young Star FU Orionis

Young star FU Orionis is pretty shocking! Astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to observe the sizzling star in ultraviolet light. At 16,000 kelvins, nearly three times our sun’s surface temperature, its disk is nearly twice as hot as prior...

About

Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI): Nearly 400 years after Galileo first observed the heavens through a telescope, we continue to seek answers to age-old questions about the universe. And while the technology has evolved over the centuries, the inquiry remains essentially the same: What's out there, where did it come from, and what does it mean?

At the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), we're working hard to study and explain the once-unimaginable celestial phenomena now made visible using Hubble's cutting-edge technology. In the course of this exploration we will continue to share with you the grace and beauty of the universe, because the discoveries belong to all of us.
