  1. Eye on Infinity: NASA Celebrates Hubble's 35th Year in Orbit

    April 23, 2025Release ID: 2025-013 Missions: Hubble

    Legendary space telescope redefined the universe.

    Composite shows four Hubble images in quarters. At top left is a crisp view of Mars in shades of orange, blues, and browns. At top right is planetary nebula NGC 2899, which is shaped like a single macaroni noodle, with its central torus appearing semi-transparent and blue and green, and its top and bottom edges in orange. At bottom left is a tiny portion of the Rosette Nebula. Very dark gray material shaped like a triangle takes up the center. At bottom right is barred spiral galaxy NGC 5335 with a milky yellow center that forms a bar surrounded by multiple blue star-filled spiral arms that wrap up counterclockwise.

    Square image of a region of space, divided into two distinct, triangular-shaped halves. The boundary between the two runs diagonally from the lower left corner of the square to the upper right corner. Superimposed on each half is a simple white line drawing of a telescope. The upper left half consists of a drawing of the Hubble Space Telescope superimposed on a Hubble image showing numerous stars and a hazy blue to brown cloud of gas and dust. The lower right half consists of a drawing of the Webb Space Telescope superimposed on a Webb image showing numerous stars and a pinkish yellow to brown cloud of gas and dust. The Webb image shows a more filamentous and billowy structure.
