Hubble peered into the history of galaxies

This picture was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope agency NASA and ESA. It shows the dwarf galaxy NGC 1140 is located 60 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Eridanus. As seen in this image, the galaxy NGC 1140 has an irregular shape, like the Large Magellanic Cloud - a small galaxy is a satellite of the Milky Way

Hubble Shows Link between Stars' Ages and Their Orbits in Dense Cluster

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have for the first time two distinct linked Populations of stars in an ancient globular star cluster to their uniqueness orbital dynamics, offering Proof that the stars do not share the same birth date.

Hubble sees galaxies colliding in outer space

Space Telescope NASA / European Space Agency "Hubble" recently made ​​this beautiful picture a pair of interacting galaxies known as Arp 142. When two galaxies approach each other so closely that they begin to interact with each other, they both appear spectacular changes. In some cases, two galaxies can come together, and in the other - on the contrary, to be ripped.

Hubble captures a stunning image of the brightest galaxy


The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of a spiral galaxy with bars that can help understand the Milky Way.
Most of the known spiral galaxies fall into this category of "slash" - which is defined by its pronounced structure bars across their centers.
The existence of this structure can indicate the age of the galaxy.
Two thirds of the nearest galaxies are young and bar, while only a fifth of the oldest and most distant have it.
The new image is a milestone in the long history of the Hubble Space Telescope in the stunning astronomical imaging.

Hubble Sees Stars of Steam


Comparatively FEW galaxies POSSESS the far-reaching, luminous spiral arms or brightly glowing center of our galaxy the Milky Way home. In FACT, MOST of the Universe's galaxies look like small, amorphous clouds of steam. One of these galaxies is DDO 82, Captured here in an image from the NASA / ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Compared to the tiny THOUGH Milky Way dwarf galaxies still Contain Such Between A Few million billion stars and A Few.

DDO 82, Also known by the designation UGC 5692, is not without a hint of structure, however.
