We know black hole mergers occur because we can detect the resulting gravitational waves. But when trying to piece together ...
The telescope has the largest digital camera ever made. It’s so precise that one image alone contains 10 million galaxies.
This image of massive galaxy cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 was part of the Hubble Space Telescope's Frontier Fields project, which combined the power of natural "gravitational lenses" in space. The ...
Every Hubble anniversary feels like a triumph for the elderly space telescope. It may have a few more anniversaries left in it. NASA hopes it will continue operations into the 2030s. Long live Hubble.

The galaxy cluster MACS-J0417.5-1154 is so massive it is warping the fabric of space-time and distorting the appearance of galaxies behind it, an effect known as gravitational lensing. This natural ...
New imagery has been released from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which captured a photo of a spiral galaxy more than 76 million light-years away from Earth.
The space observatory turned its instruments to a massive galaxy cluster called MACS-J0417.5-1154. This cluster is so large that it warps the fabric of space-time, distorting the appearance of ...
Located roughly 4.3 billion light-years from Earth, MACS J0416 is a massive galaxy cluster that has been extensively studied using Chandra, Hubble, and James Webb.
