Study Links Young Star Feedback to How Galaxies Change

Researchers studied 18,000 star-forming regions in nearby spiral galaxies using PHANGS survey data.
The work used observations from Hubble, JWST, and ALMA to examine gas, radiation, and galactic structure.
The study suggests pressure from ionized gas around young stars helps drive changes that influence galaxy evolution.

Hubble Spots Early Galaxy That May Have Helped Clear Cosmic Fog

Astronomers detected ionising light from galaxy MXDFz4.4 as it appeared 1.4 billion years after the big bang.
The observation pushes earlier the known frontier for galaxies seen leaking radiation that can ionise hydrogen.
Researchers describe the galaxy as much smaller than the Milky Way but forming stars far faster.
Hubble, JWST and the Very Large Telescope were used together to identify and characterize the object.

Hubble captures a galaxy cluster that doubles as a cosmic lens

Hubble imaged galaxy cluster MACS0329-0211 in visible and infrared light.
The cluster contains multiple galaxy types and faint lensed arcs.
Its mass bends and magnifies light from more distant background galaxies.

Hubble and Webb image of M64. A massive spiral galaxy glows with a yellow core, surrounded by arms full of orange-brown dust and pink and blue patches of star formation. Framed by a haze of dark dust, the galaxy shines against black space dotted with a few stars.

NASA’s Black Eye Galaxy image highlights a strange merger past

NASA released a new composite image of Messier 64 from Webb and Hubble data.
The galaxy’s outer gas rotates opposite to the inner gas and stars.
NASA says the unusual motion may result from a merger with a satellite galaxy over a billion years ago.

Hubble Could Get a New Lease on Life—If NASA Can Afford It

NASA Weighs Hubble Reboost Mission, But Cost Remains Key Hurdle

Hubble is predicted to reenter Earth's atmosphere by 2033 due to orbital decay.
NASA is considering a reboost mission to extend Hubble's life, but only if operating costs can be reduced.
A similar rescue mission for the Swift telescope is underway, demonstrating lower-cost reboost technology.
NASA's astrophysics division director emphasized the need to lower Hubble's operational costs before committing to a reboost.

Hubble Captures M88 as It Drifts Toward Virgo Cluster’s Core

Hubble released a new image of the spiral galaxy M88.
M88 contains a supermassive black hole estimated at about 100 million solar masses.
NASA says the galaxy is moving toward a close approach with M87 in 200-300 million years.

This artist's illustration shows what the water vapour plumes tentatively detected on Jupiter's icy moon Europa would look like. A 2014 paper based on Hubble observations showed that these intermittent plumes reach 200 km above Europa's surface. In the following couple of years, subsequent research also found them. But new research from the original discoverers is reconsidering the original findings. Image Credit: University of Cologne.

Europa’s Famous Water Plumes May Not Exist After All

A new reassessment is casting doubt on Hubble-based evidence for Europa water vapor plumes.
The original plume claim had suggested ocean material might be accessible without drilling through ice.
NASA’s Europa Clipper can still study the moon deeply, but the case for direct plume sampling is weaker.

A spiral arm of the Whirlpool Galaxy

Webb and Hubble trace how young stars break free of their birth clouds in M51

A new combined Hubble-Webb image studies one spiral arm of the Whirlpool Galaxy.
The observations indicate larger star groups leave birth clouds faster than smaller ones.
The work helps astronomers probe stellar feedback and galaxy evolution.

This is a near-infrared image from the ground-based VISTA VVV Survey. It shows the Milky Way's galactic bulge, with the location of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey superimposed over the regions the Hubble surveyed with its instruments. The Hubble's survey was completed in order to give astronomers a leg up in understanding and interpreting the Roman's results.

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope Is Ahead of Schedule as Hubble Prepares the Ground

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope is reportedly ahead of schedule and under budget, with a September launch target.
Its 15-month Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey will repeatedly monitor a dense region of the Milky Way for exoplanets and other hard-to-see objects.
Hubble has already surveyed overlapping fields to help astronomers interpret Roman’s future observations.

Hubble captures NGC 1266, a rare post-starburst galaxy caught between identities

Hubble’s new image spotlights NGC 1266, a lenticular galaxy in Eridanus.
NASA describes it as a rare post-starburst galaxy with a young stellar population but few star-forming regions.
Astronomers think a minor merger around 500 million years ago helped trigger its transition.

Hubble’s New Spiral Portrait Offers a Nearby Lab for Galactic Evolution

NGC 3137 is a spiral galaxy 53 million light-years away.
The galaxy belongs to a group that may resemble the Milky Way’s Local Group.
NASA says the image can help researchers study star formation and black-hole growth.

This Hubble image shows part of the Trifid Nebula, an object the space telescope first observed in 1997. This image is part of NASA's celebration for the telescope's 35th year of work. The central part of the image looks almost like a sea slug with its pair of antennae. Image Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI; Image Processing: Joseph DePasquale (STScI)

Hubble Revisits the Trifid Nebula and Finds Change on Human Timescales

Hubble revisited the Trifid Nebula nearly three decades after imaging it in 1997.
Astronomers can compare the images to track changes in jets and gas structures.
The observations help study star formation on unusually short, human-observable timescales.

Hubble Captures a Spiral Galaxy Powered by a Hungry Black Hole

NASA released a new Hubble image of barred spiral galaxy IC 486.
The galaxy sits about 380 million light-years away and shows both old and young stellar regions.
Its bright center is powered by an active galactic nucleus around a supermassive black hole.

Hubble’s 25-Year View of the Crab Nebula Shows a Supernova Remnant Still in Motion

Live Science says Hubble images taken 25 years apart show major changes in the Crab Nebula.
The object is about 6,500 light-years away in Taurus.
The comparison offers new insight into the nebula’s evolution, structure and pulsar-driven growth.
