Go, Comet 3I/ATLAS, go! ☄️ Hurtling at a whopping 130,000 miles per hour, this comet has the highest velocity ever recorded for a solar system visitor. Hubble observations allow astronomers to more accurately estimate the comet's size:

41P likely originated in the Kuiper Belt, a collection of icy bodies beyond Neptune's orbit. The comet was then flung into its current trajectory by Jupiter’s gravity, now visiting our inner solar system every 5.4 years. Find out more:

#HappyHolidays from Hubble! Here’s a festive sonification of RS Puppis, a glittering star wreathed with dust. Located about 6,500 light-years away, this star rhythmically brightens and dims over a six-week cycle:

Sometimes, the best science happens on accident. A team using Hubble studied a comet (not even their first-choice target!) and realized they were witnessing it in the act of breaking apart. Find out more about these ultra-rare observations:

Astronomers believe that our solar system's early days were pretty chaotic: asteroids, comets, and forming planets smashed together and pelted Earth with debris. Now, Hubble has captured similar collisions in a planetary system around a nearby star:

This isn't Hubble's first rodeo. The telescope also studied the Trifid Nebula back in 1997 with an earlier instrument. Hubble's latest view shows the expansion of a plasma jet periodically ejected by a developing star!

A shot in the dark ✨ While most galaxies shine bright, a rare type remains nearly invisible — low-surface-brightness galaxies dominated by dark matter and containing only a scattering of faint stars. CDG-2 is one such galaxy, detected by Hubble:
