NASA's Hubble Space Telescope completed its 200,000th orbit around Earth on Sept. 19, marking another milestone for an observatory that continues to transform our understanding of the universe.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of massive galaxy cluster MACS J0417 (left of center) on Sept. 19, 2026. This galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, bending and magnifying light from objects far behind it. Supernova Athena, discovered by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope in 2025, is predicted to reappear between now and […]

Hubble has traveled more than 5 billion miles around Earth over its 36-year lifetime, exceeding 1.7 million total observations. An observation completed on the day of […]
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured MACS0329-0211, a massive galaxy cluster whose gravity bends distant light into arcs, curves, and a bright central figure-eight shape. A cosmic swarm The image, released June 12, 2026, shows what NASA described as looking “somewhat like a swarm of bees returning to their hive.” The cluster is packed with […]
