The cluster, full of more than 2,500 newborn stars that blaze blue in the Hubble image, is in a galaxy with far fewer heavy chemical substances than the Milky Way. It's mostly made of hydrogen and ...

The Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy about 200,000 light-years from the solar system, can be seen with the naked eye ...

SEE ALSO: Hubble Telescope to Snap 6 New Views of Universe The image reveals new details of a huge cluster of galaxies called Abell 370, which is located about 6 billion light-years away from Earth.

It was the first evidence of galaxies outside our own, and Hubble soon went on to discover about 23 more galaxies.

Hubble has also captured images of many ancient galaxies, in all stages of evolution, and so lets scientists see back into the past days of a young and developing universe. The telescope was also ...

This prolific star factory is in the Small Magellanic Cloud, one of the largest of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies. As part of ESA/Hubble's 35th anniversary celebrations, a new image series is ...

This ongoing galactic collision is located in the Boötes constellation and will eventually become a singular galaxy after the merger has completed. Based on the new image that Hubble captured ...

Hubble had already used this knowledge in his 1924 discovery that the Andromeda nebula, containing a variable star, was more than 900,000 light years from Earth -- way beyond our own galaxy -- a ...

Starting in late 2019, Hubble spent two years cataloging images — as well as measurements of the locations and motions — of three dozen galaxies swirling up to 1.63 million light-years from ...

For an astronomical object (e.g. a star or a galaxy) at a known distance from the Earth, the Hubble constant can be used to predict how fast it should be moving away from us. However, the true value ...

The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of a spiral galaxy, NGC 4900, and a nearby star in the constellation Virgo. Despite appearing close, the star is 7,109 light-years away, while the ...

The SMC is close to the bigger Large Magellanic Cloud and is best seen from November to January — unless you're the Hubble Space Telescope ... found in large galaxies like the Milky Way.
