Hubble Space Telescope image of Arp 5, also known as NGC 3664.

Similar to the Large Magellanic cloud, NGC 3664 is a barred Magellanic spiral galaxy, with a long, single spiral arm and prominent bar. It is interacting with a small dwarf galaxy, out of frame.

Hay imágenes que no necesitan contexto para imponerse. Saturno es una de ellas. Basta verlo para entender por qué sigue siendo uno de los grandes...

#Hubble in a death spiral that could end as early as 2028 without a reboost
The post on Bluesky by #astronomer #JonathanMcDowell is a stark reminder that Hubble is heading back to Earth, possibly sooner than previously thought, as its orbit decays.
Hubble was launched into #LEO in 1990, in bay of Space Shuttle Discovery. While it remains capable of pointing its instruments and returns breathtaking imagery over more than three decades in orbit, it cannot raise its altitude

: Orbit decay accelerates as solar activity rises, with no approved mission yet to raise the telescope's altitude

Hubble Space Telescope image of Arp 23, also known as NGC 4618.

NGC 4618 is a single-armed barred spiral galaxy. It has a diameter of about a third that of the Milky Way. Its unusual shape may come from gravitational interactions with a neighboring galaxy NGC 4625, which is just out of frame.

Hubble shows 'farting' comet reversing its spin for the first time ever —‬ and it may soon 'self-destruct'

A new analysis of archival Hubble Space Telescope photos reveals that a peculiar comet slowed its spin before fully reversing its rotational direction during a flyby of Earth in 2017.
