Like Happy birthday, Hubble! Telescope celebrates with image of Southern Crab NebulaApril 20, 2019 at 2:00 PM In 1990 the Hubble Space Telescope was launched into low Earth orbit, where it has remained for nearly three decades collecting information about deep space. To celebrate its birthday, Hubble imaged the beautiful Southern Crab Nebula.

Like See a cluster of cosmic wild ducks in flight in Hubble’s picture of the weekMarch 31, 2019 at 11:58 AM Hubble has provided another space picture for us to marvel at. The image shows the Messier 11 cluster, a group of stars also known by another name: the Wild Duck Cluster, because the brightest stars look like a flock of ducks in flight.

Like A tiny pebble could have caused the dramatic self-destruction of a 5-mile-long asteroidMarch 30, 2019 at 4:39 PM Hubble has captured images of a self-destructing asteroid called 6478 Gault. The asteroid has two comet-like tails of debris, suggesting that Gault is breaking apart due to a phenomenon known as the YORP effect.

Like Cloudy SkiesMarch 29, 2019 at 1:00 AM Before a star like the Sun becomes a star like the Sun, it goes through a busy infancy. It forms from a collapsing cloud of gas and dust. Most of the material clumps together in the center, getting hotter and hotter, forming the baby star. Much of the remaining gas and dust forms a disk around the star. And bigger clouds of material from the star’s nursery lurk nearby.

Like The secret to scientific discoveries? Making mistakes | Phil PlaitMarch 18, 2019 at 10:52 AM Phil Plait was on a Hubble Space Telescope team of astronomers who thought they may have captured the first direct photo of an exoplanet ever taken. But did the evidence actually support that? Follow along as Plait shows how science progresses -- through a robust amount of making and correcting errors. "The price of doing science is admitting when you're wrong, but the payoff is the best there is: knowledge and understanding," he says.
