Hundreds of bright blue stars sparkle against the dark background regions of dust clouds, from which new stars are born, including the massive protostar OH 339.88-1.26, which lurks at the center of this image, behind the dark vertical streak.

Star-studded stellar nursery shines in new Hubble Telescope photo

By Samantha Mathewson published

The Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3 photographed a massive protostar lurking behind star-forming clouds of dust and gas in the constellation Ara.

A distant galaxy sparkles from the soft glow of its many tiny stars in a new photo from the Hubble Space Telescope.

Hubble Space Telescope
A crowd of oval-shaped elliptical galaxies gather around the largest in the center. They are surrounded by more distant stars and galaxies, that have many shapes and sizes but all are smaller, on a dark background.

A fiery red dwarf star is seen in the background. In the foreground, a tiny black orb transits in front. Around the black orb is a purple hazy atmosphere that's blowing away on either side.

Hubble telescope sees an angry star and an evaporating planet

By Monisha Ravisetti published

Quite close to our solar system, an angry red dwarf star is terrorizing a misfortunate planet by ripping away the world's atmosphere.

Hubble Space Telescope
A broad spiral galaxy seen directly face-on. It has two bright spiral arms that extend from a bar, which shines from the very centre. Additional fainter arms branch off from these, studded with bright blue patches of star formation. Small, distant galaxies are dotted around it, on a dark background.

The Hubble Space Telescope tried to capture an image of a weirdly shaped galaxy. A bright star almost got in the way.

Hubble Space Telescope
A streak of blue glowing light is shown against a dark background of space. Around the streak are spots representing the boulders, each one circled to highlight the positions.
