Eye Spy a Planet: Hubble’s Universe Unfiltered

Posted by

In 2008, Hubble released the first visible-light picture of a planet around another star. Planets around distant stars are extremely difficult to visualize — astronomers usually find them by observing the dimming of light as a planet passes in front of a star, or the wobble of the star as its tugged by the planet’s gravity.

Through a Lens, Brightly: Hubble’s Universe Unfiltered

Posted by

Matter warps the space around it. The more matter there is, the stronger the warp. For really strong distortions of space-time, like black holes, the warping acts like a lens. Such gravitational lenses have been found, and astronomers can use them to study very distant and very faint galaxies.

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, a whirling storm on the gas giant planet’s surface, has been one of the planet’s most recognizable features for centuries. But in 2006 and 2008, Jupiter’s Great Red Spot was joined by two companions, smaller red spot storms.

Interacting Galaxies Galore: Hubble’s Universe Unfiltered

Posted by

Hubble celebrated its 18th anniversary in 2008 by releasing a huge image gallery of interacting galaxies. Such galaxies pass close enough to each other that their mutual gravity can stretch and distort their shapes. Eventually, interacting galaxies merge together to form a single larger galaxy. However, since these interactions can take billions of years, how do we study them?
