NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a breathtaking image of the spiral galaxy NGC 2566. Astronomers use detailed Hubble images to study star clusters and active star-forming regions.
The 17th-anniversary celebration featured a panorama of part of the Carina Nebula, and a collection of images selected from that area. [4]In its 17 years of exploring the heavens, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has made nearly 800,000 observations and snapped nearly 500,000 images of more than 25,000 celestial objects.
On 30 July 2022, an image of Earendel was captured by the James Webb Space Telescope during its first imaging campaign of the star. [16] On 8 August 2023, the colors of Earendel were detected, and an image was captured by both the Hubble and Webb telescopes. [17]
NASA's Webb Space Telescope keeps spotting details no one has seen before: countless galaxies, clouds of dust birthing new stars, and new colors.

The world-famous telescope is named after Edwin Hubble, an American astronomer who studied galaxies and made major contributions to the field of astronomy in the first half of the 20th century.
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST or Hubble) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation. It was not the first space telescope , but it is one of the largest and most versatile, renowned as a vital research tool and as a public relations boon for astronomy .
The James Webb Space Telescope’s first images revealed new details of the cosmos, peering farther into space than the Hubble Space Telescope.
