• 1/9/1998 STScI-1998-01 561. Astronomers Discover an Infrared Background Glow in the Universe Astronomers have assembled the first definitive detection of a background infrared glow across the sky produced by dust warmed by all the stars that have existed... (More)
• 1/9/1998 STScI-1998-07 562. A New Class of X-ray Star? Teaming up space telescopes to make simultaneous ultraviolet and X-ray observations, astronomers may have solved a 20-year-old mystery and possibly discovered... (More)
• 1/8/1998 STScI-1998-02 563. Hubble Pinpoints Distant Supernovae Peering halfway across the universe to analyze light from exploded stars that died long before our Sun even existed, the Hubble telescope has allowed astronomers to determine that the expansion... (More)
• 1/7/1998 STScI-1998-03 564. Astronomers Have Found a New Twist in a Suspected Proto-Planetary Disk A telltale new warp uncovered in a vast, thin disk of dust encircling the star Beta Pictoris may be caused by the gravitational tug of a bypassing... (More)
• 1/7/1998 STScI-1998-04 565. Hubble Provide Complete View of Jupiter's Auroras The Hubble telescope has captured a complete view of Jupiter's northern and southern auroras. Images taken in ultraviolet light show both auroras, the oval-shaped objects... (More)
• 1/7/1998 STScI-1998-05 566. Hubble Provides Clear Images of Saturn's Aurora Here is the picture of Saturn taken by the Hubble telescope in ultraviolet light. The glowing, swirling material at Saturn's poles is its auroral "curtains,"... (More)
• 1/7/1998 STScI-1998-06 567. Hubble Finds Most of Visible Light in the Universe A closer look at the Hubble telescope's most detailed image, the Hubble Deep Field, reveals that the faint galaxies seen by Hubble could account... (More)

• 12/17/1997 STScI-1997-38 568. Hubble Witnesses the Final Blaze of Glory of Sun-Like Stars The end of a Sun-like star's life was once thought to be simple: the star gracefully casts off a shell of glowing gas and then settles into a long retirement... (More)
• 12/4/1997 STScI-1997-39 569. One Star's Loss is Another's Gain: Hubble Captures Brief Moment in Life of Lively Duo Some stars in double-star systems have found a quick way to lose weight by dumping... (More)
• 11/20/1997 STScI-1997-36 570. Hubble Watches Uranus Using the Hubble telescope's visible-light camera, astronomers for the first time this century have detected clouds in the Northern Hemisphere of Uranus. The snapshots show banded structure... (More)
