This #HubbleFriday image shows off the big, beautiful galaxy NGC 2336, which is located in the constellation of Camelopardalis: https://t.co/8U9UVuHUWH https://t.co/1SzbXZFTVO

RT @NASASun: VY Canis Majoris makes our Sun look downright friendly.  This hypergiant star is 300,000x brighter than the Sun, with eruptions extending a trillion miles into space. Now, new @NASAHubble research shows that VY Canis Majoris is dimming fast: https://t.co/9Feoyu0LZI https://t.co/tOGTZovd7d

Why is this massive star dimming? Hubble is on the case! 

Material cast off from VY Canis Majoris forms a dust cloud that obstructs the star’s light. This star is so big that if it replaced our Sun, it'd extend between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn: https://t.co/nb5cXfnRIw https://t.co/0hNliTXb4R

13.4 *billion* light-years away.  

We’ll just let that sink in. 

#OTD five years ago, it was announced that Hubble shattered the cosmic distance record when it observed the faraway galaxy GN-z11 at 13.4 billion light-years away: https://t.co/pZo2dWjFYG #HubbleClassic https://t.co/v3x4AdVrsW

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay!   

Earth is full of incredible creatures, but Hubble spotted some animal friends out in the universe, too! https://t.co/Ddd1vF5B71

Servicing missions are what make Hubble… Hubble! 

Astronauts launched #OTD in 2002 for the fourth mission (called 3B, since the third mission split into two parts) to the space telescope — where the unexpected awaited them.

A dark band of dust sweeps across one side of the bright nucleus of the galaxy NGC 4826, earning it the nicknames “Black Eye” and “Evil Eye” galaxy. 👁

This galaxy is located 17 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices: https://t.co/NXcE7FrUga

🛑 Pit stop!

Hubble spotted a comet that found a temporary parking place near Jupiter’s asteroids. This is the first time a comet-like object has been seen near these asteroids, called Trojans, but this unexpected guest won’t stay for long. Find out more: https://t.co/lJrdwj60yv https://t.co/FwFFkfHnvi

Drum roll, please! 🥁

Based on the above results, the winner is the Eagle Nebula. Located about 7,000 light-years away, the portion of the nebula shown in this Hubble image is called the Pillars of Creation! Find out more about this star-forming region: https://t.co/YjeKmOyhJS https://t.co/sRtT63KIih

How many light-years away?

A nebula is a cloud of dust and gas in space; it's either a location where new stars are forming, or a cloud of material ejected into space by a dying star.

These interacting galaxies, named AM 0500-620, reside a whopping 350 million light-years away. 🤯 

Despite the distance, we can find intricate details in this #HubbleClassic image, like lanes of dust between spiral arms and bright knots of stars: https://t.co/rpKeEF8bLM https://t.co/myVkuPmMhy

You've seen images of it from Hubble, but have you ever heard sounds from Mars? 🤔

Thanks to @NASAPersevere, we have the first-ever microphone-recorded sounds from the Red Planet.

Hear them in @NASA’s Curious Universe podcast!

When it launches, @NASAWebb will get in on the exoplanet action and observe them in wavelengths they’ve never been seen at before!

Many NASA missions have studied planets orbiting other stars, called exoplanets! They've made remarkable discoveries, like TRAPPIST-1 (7 Earth-size planets around a star), announced #OTD four years ago.

The search for worlds beyond our own continues. Here's how Hubble helps  https://t.co/lkXZDd9wsR

Herbig-Haro objects are a rare sight in the night sky... but that's what #HubbleFriday is for!

Hubble looked over 1,400 light-years away and captured these long jets of matter, ejected from a new star and propelled outwards at over 93 miles a second: https://t.co/R89S5c9BKA https://t.co/JTXWYzrhvu

We’ve observed Mars many times from afar, but now @NASAPersevere begins its mission to explore the Red Planet. Congratulations on a successful landing!
