RMGE4G8C–The brilliant tapestry of young stars flaring to life resemble a glittering fireworks display in the 25th anniversary NASA Hubble Space Telescope image to commemorate a quarter century of exploring the solar system and beyond since its launch on April 24, 1990. The sparkling centerpiece of Hubble's silver anniversary fireworks is a giant cluster of about 3,000 stars called Westerlund 2, named for Swedish astronomer Bengt Westerlund, who discovered the grouping in the 1960s. The cluster resides in a raucous stellar breeding ground known as Gum 29, located 20,000 light-years away from Earth in

RF2AD7MP8–Astronomy textbooks typically present galaxies as staid, solitary, and majestic island worlds of glittering stars. But galaxies have a dynamical side. They have close encounters that sometimes end in grand mergers and overflowing sites of new star birth as the colliding galaxies morph into wondrous new shapes. Today, in celebration of the Hubble Space Telescope's 18th launch anniversary, 59 views of colliding galaxies constitute the largest collection of Hubble images ever released to the public. This new Hubble atlas dramatically illustrates how galaxy collisions produce a remarkable var

RMEN8HKG–NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope measures in at just over 43 feet long and is 14 feet in diameter. When upright, it is a five story tower that, when readied for launch, filled out the orbiter’s entire payload bay. Hubble is made up of three major elements: the Optical Telescope Assembly, the focal plane scientific instruments, and the Support Systems Module, which is divided into four sections, stacked together like canisters. In this photo, all of Hubble's main structures are present as the forward shell is being moved into position for mating at Lockheed Martin’s 535,000 cubic foot, Vertical As

RMEN8HM0–Once final modifications and testing were complete, the Hubble Space Telescope was shipped from Lockheed’s plant in Sunnyvale, California, through the Panama Canal, and to Kennedy Space Center where it was prepared for launch aboard the aptly named Discovery, as part of the space shuttle STS-31 mission launched on April 24, 1990. This photo shows Hubble being prepared for acoustic testing at Lockheed Martin’s Sunnyvale, California plant. Anytime something is launched to space, it is exposed to acoustic forces resulting from being launched on a spacecraft lifted to orbit by powerful engines. (N

The image marks the 20th anniversary of Hubble's launch and deployment into an orbit around Earth. The image reveals a plethora of stars behind the gaseous veil of the nebula's wall of hydrogen, laced with dust. The foreground pillar becomes semi-transpa
