  1. NASA's Hubble, New Horizons Team Up for a Simultaneous Look at Uranus

    October 09, 2024Release ID: 2024-033 Missions: Hubble

    Learnings provide insights into capabilities needed for direct-imaging of exoplanets

    A four-panel image. The top two panels are diagrams of Uranus – spheres with gridlines going longitudinally and latitudinally. On the top left, the view from Hubble, the southern pole of the planet faces 3 o'clock. On the top right, the view from New Horizons, the southern pole faces 10 o'clock. The bottom left panel is Hubble’s actual view of Uranus – the planet is a light blue sphere, with a white circle covering the right half of the planet (the southern pole). The bottom right panel is the actual view of Uranus from New Horizons. The planet appears as a tiny whiteish dot.

  2. Pillars of Creation Star in New Visualization from NASA's Hubble and Webb Telescopes

    June 26, 2024Release ID: 2024-020 Missions: Hubble, Webb

  3. NASA's Webb, Hubble Combine to Create Most Colorful View of Universe

    November 09, 2023Release ID: 2023-146 Missions: Webb, Hubble

    The result: A vivid landscape of galaxies along with more than a dozen newfound, time-varying objects.

    A field of galaxies on the black background of space. In the middle, stretching from left to right, is a collection of dozens of yellowish spiral and elliptical galaxies that form a foreground galaxy cluster. Among them are distorted linear features, which mostly appear to follow invisible concentric circles curving around the center of the image.
