Shoemaker-Levy 9: Interplanetary Impact

Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 left an indelible mark on our understanding of the solar system when it collided with Jupiter. Discover the event’s significance and the crucial role NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope played in capturing its dramatic impact.

👁 Mosaic of the Pillars of Creation visualization model, composed of 4 rectangular strips oriented 45 degrees clockwise from vertical. Strips alternate between Hubble and Webb views of the visualization model, with each strip labeled: “Hubble” at lower right corners of first and third strips; “Webb” at upper left corners of the second and fourth strips. Webb strips have drop shadows that make it look like they are overlaid on top of larger Hubble image. Mosaic shows 3 vertical structures (pillars) of thick smoke-like material. Pillar edges are glowing, with thin wisps of material moving away into space. In Hubble strips, pillars are dark brown and opaque, on greenish blue background. In Webb strips, pillars are bright orange to brown with a distinct area of bright red at the top of middle pillar. A red star appears at the tip of a peak in the left pillar and the background is deep blue.

Pillars of Creation Visualization

Using data from NASA's Hubble and Webb space telescopes, astronomers and artists modeled the iconic Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula (Messier 16 or M16) in three dimensions, creating a movie that allows viewers to fly past and among the pillars.

Hubble Celebrates Servicing Mission 4's 15th Anniversary

In May 2009, a brave team of astronauts embarked on a daring journey. Their mission? To breathe new life into Hubble, ensuring its legacy of discovery could continue for years to come.

It's Time to Change Hubble's Clock

Remember that Y2K thing a few years ago? Well, it turns out Hubble has something similar, only Hubble’s clock restarts every 6,213 days, 18 hours, 48 minutes, and 31.875 seconds, or roughly every 17 years.

Highlights from Hubble's 34th Year in Orbit

After more than three decades, Hubble continues to uncover the mysteries of the universe. These are a few science achievements from Hubble’s latest year in orbit.

The Helix Nebula is 655 light-years away and three light-years across. When a low-mass star sheds outer material near the end of its life, nebulae like this form. In this sonification, which scans from left to right, red light is assigned lower pitches and blue light is assigned higher pitches. Just as the frequencies of light increase from red to blue, frequencies of sound increase from low to high pitches.

Top of the image holds the phrase, "Hubble Focus." The "o" in focus is Hubble as we look down the tube of the telescope.
“Hubble Focus: The Dark Universe” highlights the mission’s recent discoveries about two mysterious components of our universe, dark energy — an unexplained cosmic pressure that’s speeding up the universe’s expansion — and dark matter, an invisible substance detectable only by seeing how it gravitationally influences visible matter.
