Straight Shot: Hubble Investigates Galaxy with Nine Rings

Bullseye! Researchers using Hubble found a massive galaxy rippling with nine star-filled rings after an "arrow," the blue dwarf galaxy to its center-left, plunged through its core 50 million years ago. A thin trail of gas still links the pair.

NASA's Hubble Tracks Down a 'Blue Lurker' Among Stars

An unusual star that spins over seven times faster than our sun has been detected by Hubble. Known as a "blue lurker," it probably got a turbo-boost from the merger of two accompanying stars that fed material onto the star, increasing its rotation...

About

Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI): Nearly 400 years after Galileo first observed the heavens through a telescope, we continue to seek answers to age-old questions about the universe. And while the technology has evolved over the centuries, the inquiry remains essentially the same: What's out there, where did it come from, and what does it mean?

At the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), we're working hard to study and explain the once-unimaginable celestial phenomena now made visible using Hubble's cutting-edge technology. In the course of this exploration we will continue to share with you the grace and beauty of the universe, because the discoveries belong to all of us.
