New Hubble view of the Lagoon Nebula

The Hubble Space Telescope provides a look into the Sun’s future, imaging a planetary nebula in Orion that shows what happens when a star burns through its nuclear fuel in old age.

The Hubble Space Telescope, working with the ALMA radio observatory to characterize galactic environments conducive to star formation, captures a prime example in splendid detail.

A distant planet orbiting two red dwarf stars, found by its warping of spacetime, has been confirmed using observations from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The planet’s mass caused what is known as a microlensing event, where light is bent by an object’s gravitational field. This is the first circumbinary planet to be confirmed following detection of a microlensing event.
