Herbig-Haro objects are some of the rarer sights in the night sky, taking the form of thin spindly jets of matter floating amongst the surrounding gas and stars

This artist's illustration shows the motion of three of the outermost planets in the HR 8799 system as measured over a 10-year period from Hubble Space Telescope archival data and more recent ground-based telescopic data

A team of British and American astronomers used data from several telescopes on the ground and in space - among them the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.

This is the first image of a celestial object taken with the newly repaired Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS)

Astronomers used the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to analyse light from the nearby star TRAPPIST-1 as it passed through the atmospheres of four Earth-sized planets in the staras habitable zone

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of the cluster Westerlund 2 and its surroundings has been released to celebrate Hubble's 25th year in orbit and a quarter of a century of new discoveries

Streaming out from the centre of the galaxy M87 like a cosmic searchlight is one of nature's most amazing phenomena, a black-hole-powered jet of electrons and other sub-atomic particles traveling at nearly the speed of light.

This is an image of one-half of the Hubble Space Telescope field of view in the Sagittarius Window Eclipsing Extrasolar Planet Search (SWEEPS).

This artist's illustration shows a view of the gas giant planet HD 209458b, as seen from the surface of a hypothetical nearby companion object. The planet is orbiting so close to its sunlike star that its heated atmosphere is escaping into space.
