Awesome 8 Hubble Space Telescope
Since NASA launched the Hubble Space Telescope in April 1990, it’s captured countless jaw-dropping images of outer space. Check out some of Hubble’s coolest shots.
Crab Nebula
The nebula, or cluster of gas, is all that remains from a star's explosion.
Rose in Space
Two galaxies interact to create a stunning rose-like shape.
Omega Centauri
This shot shows about 100,00 out of the 10 million stars in the star cluster known as Omega Centauri.
Saturn's Rings
Particles in Saturn's rings that are visible only in ultraviolet light are revealed after Hubble filtered out other kinds of light.
The Antennae
The Antennae formation was created a hundred million years ago when two galaxies collided and triggered the "birth" of millions of stars.
Mystic Mountain
Located within the Carina Nebula, these pillars of gas and dust hold newborn stars.
Butterfly Nebula
Gas released by a dying star zips across space at more than 600,00 miles and hour, creating this butterfly-like formation.
Martian Dust Storm
Pictures of Mars reveal a massive 2001 dust storm engulfing the planet. The storm lasted for more than three months.
