About 8,000 light-years away, a cluster of young stars called Pismis 24 unleashes intense radiation and winds, carving out a cavity in the nebula where the stars formed. This #HubbleClassic shows the cluster and part of the nebula, called NGC 6357: https://t.co/7Ts478e6Eg https://t.co/Aj8I7BiE2y

Hubble was designed to be visited in space by astronauts to perform repairs, replace parts, and update its technology with new instruments!

‍ Between 1993 and 2009, there were five servicing missions, which paved the way for Hubble’s continued success. #UniqueTalentDay https://t.co/6EXE2xgplg

Guess what? This Friday is Black Hole Friday! Check back here (and follow along with @NASAUniverse) to learn more about black holes on November 27.

This is an image of spiral galaxy NGC 3147, captured by Hubble.

  What you can’t see is the supermassive black hole at its center that weighs ~250 million times the mass of our Sun!

#OTD in 1998, Hubble unveiled this image of the Hubble Deep Field South, which featured thousands of dazzling, never-before-seen galaxies. It took a 10-day-long observation to capture this patch of the universe, near the south celestial pole.

RT @NASAhistory: Happy #birthday to astronomer Edwin Hubble, born #OTD in 1889. Hubble proved that the universe contains multiple galaxies, rather than just the Milky Way. He's the namesake of @NASAHubble! Learn more about his life here: https://t.co/RoxotLaSyF https://t.co/iT4iLtgmtf

What did Hubble see on your birthday? 

Today is the birthday of our namesake, Edwin Hubble! Take a look at what Hubble saw on November 20. Pictured here, Arp 148 is the aftermath of an encounter between two galaxies.

Happy birthday, Edwin Hubble! 

Our namesake made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of astronomy, just as the telescope named for him has done over the past 30 years. In this video, learn more about the Hubble Space Telescope’s voyage of discovery. https://t.co/HQA7Vsn1PF

It's Friday! To kick off the weekend, here’s a Hubble image of the galaxy UGC 12588. Though classified as a spiral galaxy, its arms are faint – the clearest view of them comes from the blue stars sprinkled around the galaxy’s edges: https://t.co/SuypRQESIj

Bright rays and dark shadows are seen beaming out of the center of galaxy IC 5063, located 156 million light-years away. Astronomers suggest that a ring of dusty material surrounding the black hole at the galaxy’s core may be casting its shadow into space: https://t.co/Asgts0Mxt3 https://t.co/LqJUu1x3uv

Let's check in with the largest planet in our solar system for this week’s #HubbleTrivia! 

What has Hubble helped reveal about Jupiter’s Great Red Spot? 🤔

(The video in the thread has the answer!)

This stunning #HubbleClassic features galaxy M106 and its unusual set of spiral arms. It's a collaboration between Hubble and amateur astronomers, combining observations from Hubble and from astrophotographers on the ground: https://t.co/RvSbNcP9lH https://t.co/fvas3QIn6H

Cluster Abell 370 is 4 billion light-years away, and home to hundreds of galaxies! Thanks to data sonification, we can conceptualize this image through the sense of sound (brightness = volume, position = frequency).

Here’s to the successful and historic launch of @NASA’s @SpaceX Crew-1 to the @Space_Station!  The Hubble team remembers the excitement of shuttle launches to service the telescope, and we hope Crew-1’s mission is just as full of wonder and discovery. #LaunchAmerica https://t.co/5X4Tesfdgp

In this #HubbleFriday image, the galaxy LRG-3-817 appears as a long arc, left of the central galaxy cluster. It looks warped due to gravitational lensing, which happens when a huge distribution of matter sits between Earth and a distant source of light: https://t.co/gN2zBRVJuU https://t.co/rb1hK1Z1xi

Here’s a beautiful cosmic jewel for you, courtesy of @chandraxray and Hubble!
 
The planetary nebula IC 4593 is located 7,800 light-years away. This image combines visible-light data from Hubble (pink and green) and Chandra X-ray observations (purple): https://t.co/BTRzATKDJZ https://t.co/ffxsVDTuwV

Earlier this year, Hubble detected something strange in the aftermath of a collision between neutron stars. These burned-out stars may have merged to form a magnetar (a massive neutron star with a very powerful magnetic field), as shown in this animation: https://t.co/TOBXdsNW29 https://t.co/H31CteohAq

This #VeteransDay, we honor those who served and we recognize the many veterans who have supported the Hubble mission, from astronauts who serviced the telescope in space to our team on the ground.

Pictured here is Col. Michael Good on the final servicing mission to Hubble. https://t.co/9l34huGt9E

#HubbleClassic This time-lapse sequence of Hubble images shows Comet ISON moving against a backdrop of stars in May 2013, as it was hurtling toward the Sun at 48,000 miles per hour. The comet broke apart as it passed near the Sun in November that year: https://t.co/whlpqKYLW8 https://t.co/RLA6wAqCOH
