The Horsehead Nebula | HubbleSite
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took a close-up look at this heavenly icon, revealing the cloud's intricate structure. This detailed view of the horse's head is being released to celebrate the orbiting …
Carina Nebula | HubbleSite
Hubble's view of the nebula shows star birth in a new level of detail. The nebula's fantastic landscape is sculpted by the action of outflowing winds and scorching ultraviolet radiation from the monster stars …
The Surface of Pluto | HubbleSite
Hubble imaged nearly the entire surface of Pluto, as it rotated through its 6.4-day period, in late June and early July 1994. These images, which were made in blue light, show that Pluto is an unusually …
V838 Monocerotis | HubbleSite
Hubble has observed the V838 Mon light echo several times since 2002. Light from V838 Mon continues propagating outward. Each new observation of the light echo reveals a new and unique "thin-section" …
