3/5/2013 STScI-2013-09 1. Gravitational Lens Creates Cartoon of Space Invader The universe is eerie enough without giving us an apparition of a 1980s video game alien attacker. This oddball-looking object is really a mirage created by the gravitational... (More)

11/30/2012 STScI-2012-42 2. 'Dark Core' May Not Be So Dark After All Now you see it, now you don't. Douglas Clowe of Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, is reporting on new Hubble observations that do not find an unusually... (More)
11/15/2012 STScI-2012-36 3. NASA Great Observatories Find Candidate for Most Distant Galaxy Yet Known By combining the power of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, Spitzer Space Telescope, and one of nature's own natural "zoom lenses" in space, astronomers... (More)
3/2/2012 STScI-2012-10 4. Dark Matter Core Defies Explanation in Hubble Image Astronomers observed what appeared to be a clump of dark matter left behind during a bizarre wreck between massive clusters of galaxies. The dark matter collected... (More)
2/2/2012 STScI-2012-08 5. Hubble Zooms in on a Magnified Galaxy A team of astronomers aimed Hubble at one of the most striking examples of gravitational lensing, a nearly 90-degree arc of light in the galaxy cluster RCS2 032727-132623. (More)

10/13/2011 STScI-2011-25 6. Ambitious Hubble Survey Obtaining New Dark Matter Census Cluster MACS J1206.2-0847 (or MACS 1206 for short) is one of the first targets in a Hubble Space Telescope survey that will allow astronomers to construct... (More)
6/22/2011 STScI-2011-17 7. Pandora's Cluster – Clash of the Titans A team of scientists studying the galaxy cluster Abell 2744, nicknamed Pandora's Cluster, have pieced together the cluster's complex and violent history using telescopes... (More)
4/12/2011 STScI-2011-12 8. NASA Telescopes Help Discover Surprisingly Young Galaxy Astronomers have uncovered one of the youngest galaxies in the distant universe, with stars that formed 13.5 billion years ago, a mere 200 million years after the Big Bang. (More)

11/11/2010 STScI-2010-37 9. Detailed Dark Matter Map Yields Clues to Galaxy Cluster Growth Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope received a boost from a cosmic magnifying glass to construct one of the sharpest... (More)
8/19/2010 STScI-2010-26 10. First Use of Cosmic Lens to Probe Dark Energy An international team of astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has devised a new method for measuring perhaps the greatest puzzle of our universe... (More)
