2001 (continued)

• 7/10/2001 STScI-2001-25 21. Hubble Snaps Picture of Remarkable Double Cluster These two dazzling clusters of stars, called NGC 1850, are found in one of our neighboring galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud. The photo's centerpiece is a young, "globular-like"... (More)
• 6/27/2001 STScI-2001-20 22. Hint of Planet-Sized Drifters Bewilders Hubble Scientists Piercing the heart of a globular star cluster, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope uncovered tantalizing clues to what could be a strange and unexpected population of wandering... (More)

2000

• 10/31/2000 STScI-2000-33 23. Astronomers Ponder Lack of Planets in Globular Cluster Astronomers using the Hubble telescope made the first broad search for planets far beyond our local stellar neighborhood. They trained Hubble's... (More)
• 8/3/2000 STScI-2000-25 24. A Dying Star in Globular Cluster M15 The globular cluster M15 is shown in this color image obtained with the Hubble telescope. Lying some 40,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Pegasus... (More)

1999

• 9/16/1999 STScI-1999-30 25. Hubble Spies Giant Star Clusters Near Galactic Center Penetrating 25,000 light-years of obscuring dust and myriad stars, the Hubble telescope has provided the clearest view yet of a pair of the largest young clusters... (More)
• 7/1/1999 STScI-1999-26 26. Hubble Images a Swarm of Ancient Stars This stellar swarm is M80 (NGC 6093), one of the densest of the 147 known globular star clusters in the Milky Way Galaxy. Located about 28,000 light-years... (More)

1998

• 4/9/1998 STScI-1998-16 27. Hubble Finds That Even Massive Stars Just Fade Away Pinpointing the rapidly fading ember of a recently burned-out star, the Hubble telescope is giving astronomers a better estimate... (More)

1997

• 10/29/1997 STScI-1997-35 28. Hubble Catches Up with a Blue Straggler Star Astronomers have long been mystified by observations of a few hot, bright, apparently young stars residing in well-established communities where most of their neighbors... (More)

1996

• 4/24/1996 STScI-1996-11 29. Hubble Spies Globular Cluster in Neighboring Galaxy The Hubble telescope has captured a view of a globular cluster called G1, a large, bright ball of light in the center of the photograph. (More)

1995

• 11/8/1995 STScI-1995-06 30. Hubble Peers Deep into the Crowded Heart of the Densest Known Star Cluster By pinpointing individual suns in the glare of the most tightly packed cluster of stars in our galaxy, the Hubble telescope... (More)
