4/16/2009 STScI-2009-17 1. Galaxy Cluster MACS J0717 The most crowded collision of galaxy clusters has been identified by combining information from three different telescopes. This result gives scientists a chance to learn what happens... (More)

8/27/2008 STScI-2008-32 2. A Clash of Clusters Provides New Clue to Dark Matter A powerful collision of galaxy clusters has been captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory. The observations of the cluster... (More)
8/5/2008 STScI-2008-30 3. Globular Clusters Tell Tale of Star Formation in Nearby Galaxy Metropolis Globular star clusters, dense bunches of hundreds of thousands of stars, have some of the oldest surviving stars in the universe. (More)
6/10/2008 STScI-2008-24 4. Hubble's Sweeping View of the Coma Cluster of Galaxies NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections... (More)
2/12/2008 STScI-2008-08 5. Astronomers Find One of the Youngest and Brightest Galaxies in the Early Universe NASA's Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, with a boost from a natural "zoom lens," have uncovered what may be one of the youngest... (More)

5/15/2007 STScI-2007-17 6. Hubble Finds Ring of Dark Matter Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have discovered a ghostly ring of dark matter that formed long ago during a titanic collision between two massive galaxy clusters. (More)
