Photo Credit: NASA Today marks 25 years since the launch of the STS-31 mission (Discovery), which lofted the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) into orbit. AmericaSpace continues its tribute to the service life and achievements of HST, which began yesterday […] IMAX view of the release of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in April 1990. Photo Credit: NASA While the astronauts aboard Space Shuttle Discovery may not have yet known it, April 24, 1990, was a watershed date not just in spaceflight history, but in human history: STS-31 launched from LC-39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space […] From HubbleSite: “This collage shows images of six different galaxy clusters taken with NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory. The clusters were observed in a study of how dark matter in clusters of galaxies behaves when the clusters collide. Seventy-two large cluster collisions were studied in total. Using visible-light images from Hubble, […] This composite image from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) showing approximately 10,000 galaxies in brilliant color took nine years to assemble, and sheds light upon star formation in our Universe. Image Credit: NASA/ESA NASA and the European Space Agency’s Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has done it again—this time, in brilliant color. A newly released […] From the European Space Agency (ESA): “The PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) mission will identify and study thousands of exoplanetary systems, with an emphasis on discovering and characterising Earth-sized planets and super-Earths. It will also investigate seismic activity in stars, enabling a precise characterisation of the host sun of each planet discovered, […] The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged what appears to be more than 160,000 star clusters in a group of galaxies known as Abell 1689.

On a day which yielded another historic announcement about […] Sixteen-year-old Astronaut Abby already has serious space credentials, having viewed a Soyuz launch and has attended a number of space-related events. Abby has taken to preparing herself for the day when she herself will take to the skies, and her sights are set on Mars. Photo Credit: NASA / Astronaut Abby’s Facebook page. Astronaut […] |
