The Latest Breaking News from Hubble

Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein's nucleus is about 80 miles in diameter — larger than Rhode Island

A tiny smudge on the space telescope turned out to be starlight from Earendel, almost 13 billion years old – revealing evidence of the universe in its infancy

NASA's Hubble space telescope recorded the new planet, called AB Aurigae b.

Scientists say the observation is strong evidence for the “disk instability” theory of planet formation

The Hubble Space Telescope has observed the most distant star ever seen – Earendel, meaning morning star. Even though Earendel is 50 times the mass of the Sun, and millions of times brighter, we would not normally be able to see it. We can see it due to an alignment…

Astronomers have discovered the farthest star yet, a super-hot, super-bright giant that formed nearly 13 billion years ago at the dawn of the cosmos

The star has been nicknamed Earendel, meaning ‘morning star’ in Old English

Light from Earendel has travelled for an estimated 12.9bn years to reach Earth

Relying on a technique predicted by relativity, it could open a whole new field of astronomy.

The James Webb Space Telescope could be the key to understanding galactic evolution. The observatory can look about three times as far back in time than the iconic Hubble.

IN 1936, Einstein predicted a cosmic optical illusion — but he thought we'd never be able to see it. Since, astronomers have bore witness to several of these rare tricks.
