The Hubble Space Telescope has captured imagery of spiral galaxy UGC 2890. The "galaxy lies around 30 million light-years ...

Hubble's sharp resolution allows observers to pore over the galaxy's details, showing that it has traits of both spiral and elliptical galaxies. Its core appears unusually smooth and gas-poor, traits ...

A hundred years ago, astronomer Edwin Hubble dramatically expanded the size of the known universe. At a meeting of the ...

Hubble has revealed a strange cosmic object called Cloud-9, a dark matter–dominated cloud with no stars at all. Scientists believe it is a “failed galaxy,” a leftover building block from the early ...

Behind the dusty clouds of the Cigar Galaxy lies a dazzling powerhouse of star formation, where stars are being born ten times faster than in the Milky Way. Astronomers using the Hubble Space ...

A feathery ring of dust and stars known as galaxy NGC2775 continues to irk astronomers and has yet to be defined after Nasa released updated imagery from the Hubble Space Telescope. The galaxy about ...

A team of astronomers looking at Hubble telescope data have discovered, for the first time, the remnants of a failed galaxy with no stars.

Scientists have identified a strange cosmic relic called Cloud-9 — a starless, gas-filled object dominated by dark matter.

One of the most stubborn issues in cosmology today concerns the universe's rate of expansion. Scientists know it's expanding, ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy whose asymmetric appearance may be the result of a galactic tug of war. Located 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo, the ...

Having said that, there is a very real issue facing the telescope, which could soon come hurtling straight back to Earth if scientists don't act soon. Hubble's biggest hurdle right now is gravity, as ...

A massive, spacetime-warping cluster of galaxies is the setting of today’s NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image. The galaxy cluster in question is Abell 209, located 2.8 billion light-years away in ...
