With Hubble, astronomers have learned to expect the unexpected in our universe. A new discovery shows why: Hubble detected ultraviolet light escaping from a galaxy that existed just 1.4 billion years after the big bang. Learn more:

When Hubble launched in 1990, there were zero known exoplanets. Now, NASA has confirmed the existence of over 6,000 planets beyond our solar system! Take a tour to some of the wildest ones that Hubble has studied ⬇️

Did you know April is Citizen Science Month? Public participation in scientific research helps solve the mysteries of the universe! Find out more about Hubble's citizen science work: And find NASA projects you can work on here:

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:

Another banner year! Today officially marks 36 years of Hubble. The mission is still going strong, with images and discoveries that constantly change the way we understand our universe. Here are just a few examples of what Hubble's been up to in the past year ⬇️

#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:

Under the sea or up in space? 🌊 Join Dr. Jennifer Wiseman on a tour of Hubble's 36th anniversary image of the Trifid Nebula. Find out more about this new view and "cosmic sea slug":

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:

Happy 33rd birthday, Hubble! 🎉 Hubble began its journey of discovery #OTD in 1990. It’s been over three decades, and the mission continues to amaze the world with its discoveries about our universe. Take a look back at the incredible science from Hubble’s latest year in orbit!

Hubble is known for its spectacular images of our universe. But how exactly are those images processed from the data the telescope collects? Find out in this video! ⬇️

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:

The light we can see with our eyes is only a small part of our universe's story. With Hubble, astronomers can observe space across many wavelengths of light, veering into the ultraviolet and near-infrared spectrums. Find out more:

Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Comparing Hubble's data to Roman's future views will help astronomers better understand and analyze the new observations. Learn more about Roman's planned survey of our Milky Way's galactic bulge:

#OTD 35 years ago, Hubble launched into space to begin its mission to understand our universe! To this day, it remains a scientific powerhouse. Check out the telescope's biggest discoveries from its past year in orbit ⬇️

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:

This #AsteroidDay, learn how AI is used with Hubble data to discover asteroids. With the help of citizen scientists, AI hunted for faint asteroid trails in over 37,000 Hubble images – helping us learn more our solar system's asteroid belt:

For decades, astronomers believed that one day, our Milky Way Galaxy would collide with our nearest major galactic neighbor, Andromeda. Now, with the latest Hubble data and computer simulations, our galaxy's fate isn't as certain:

Take a listen to M104! 👂 A trio of telescopes observed this galaxy. From top to bottom, these views are from the Spitzer Space Telescope (infrared), Hubble (visible), and Chandra Observatory (X-ray). Find out more! ⬇️

Hubble has studied the expansion rate of our universe for decades, but there’s a difference between what is predicted &amp; observed, called Hubble Tension. Nobel Laureate Adam Reiss explains in this video! New NASA Webb Telescope data confirms Hubble’s measurements:
