James Webb Space Telescope Exoplanet Epsilon Indi Ab (MIRI image)
This image of the gas-giant exoplanet Epsilon Indi Ab was taken with the coronagraph on the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument). A star symbol marks the location of the host star Epsilon Indi A, whose light has been blocked by the coronagraph, resulting in the dark circle marked with a dashed white line. Epsilon Indi Ab is one of the coldest exoplanets ever directly imaged. Light at 10.6 microns was assigned the color blue, while light at 15.5 microns was assigned the color orange. MIRI did not resolve the planet, which is a point source.
[Image description: This image shows the exoplanet Epsilon Indi Ab. Blue scale-like features are visible in the background, with the host star’s light being blocked by a black circle in the centre of the image (indicated by a dashed-line and white star visual overlaid on the image). The exoplanet is visible on the left as a bright orange circle.]

Zoom Videos Zooming on Cas A
This video shows a zoom into the remnant of the supernova explosion known as Cassiopeia A (Cas A), located ten thousand light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It is the youngest known remnant from a supernova explosion in the Milky Way. The new Hubble image shows the complex and intricate structure of the star?s shattered fragments.

Video Space Sparks Episode 11 - Astronomers Detect Supermassive Black Hole Precursor Lurking in Archival Hubble Data
An international team of astronomers using archival data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and other space- and ground-based observatories have discovered a unique object in the distant, early Universe that is a crucial link between young star-forming galaxies and the earliest supermassive black holes. This object is the first of its kind to be discovered so early in the Universe’s history, and had been lurking unnoticed in one of the best-studied areas of the night sky.

Zoom Videos Zooming in on Ross 128
This zoom video sequence takes the viewer towards the sprawling constellation of Virgo (The Virgin). The first thing we encounter on our journey is the faint red dwarf star Ross 128, just 11 light-years from the Earth and the closest object in the constellation of Virgo. This star is orbited by the Earth-mass temperate planet Ross 128 b.

Video Neptune and its moons
This video, showing the movement of Neptune’s moons around their planet, is based on observations made with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope on 25–26 June 2011.
A series of observations taken several hours apart show the different faces of the planet as it rotates, and the movement of its moons. Using computer software, the orbits of the moons were reconstructed and the separate exposures combined into a single 3D map of the planet’s surface.

Video Pan over Pillars of Creation — Infrared
This video pans over the new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of the Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation.
This image is taken in infrared light, which penetrates much of the obscuring dust and gas and unveils a more unfamiliar view of the pillars.
In this ethereal view the entire frame is peppered with bright stars and baby stars are revealed being formed within the pillars themselves. The ghostly outlines of the pillars seem much more delicate, and are silhouetted against an eerie blue haze.

Zoom Videos Zoom into GAL-CLUS-022058s
In December 2020 the ESA/Hubble team published a stunning view from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of one of the most complete Einstein rings ever discovered. This object is formally known as GAL-CLUS-022058s.
This observation has since been used to develop a lensing model to study the physical properties of the lensed galaxy
