An Anglo-American team of astronomers have used the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to obtain the first direct optical images of the aftermath of a recent titanic explosion that took place in a star system 5,000 light years from Earth.

Hundreds of images snapped by the Hubble Space Telescope have been woven together to create a rich tapestry of thousands of galaxies.

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a galaxy being ripped apart by a galaxy cluster's gravitational field and harsh environment. The finding sheds light on the mysterious process by which gas-rich spiral-shaped galaxies might evolve into gas-poor irregular- or elliptical-shaped galaxies over billions of years.

Results from Hubble confirm what some had feared for years: stars in 'globular clusters' are born in several bursts, rather than all at once. This means that globular clusters — small, dense groups of stars found orbiting galaxies — aren't as simple as astronomers used to think.

The faintest stars ever seen in an ancient star cluster have been imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope.The observations provide the most accurate measurement ever made of the mass boundary between lightweight stars and "failed" stars called brown dwarfs – the dividing line is at about 80 times the mass of Jupiter.

The latest photo from the Hubble Space Telescope, presented at the 2006 General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union in Prague this week, shows a star forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). This sharp image reveals a large number of low-mass infant stars coexisting with young massive stars.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has for the first time identified the parent star of a distant planet discovered through gravitational microlensing.
