ABOUT THIS IMAGE:
NASA has selected fellows in three areas of astronomy and astrophysics for its Einstein, Hubble, and Sagan Fellowships. The recipients of this year's postdoctoral fellowships will conduct independent research at institutions around the country.
The 17 awardees of the Hubble Fellowship pursue research associated with NASA's "Cosmic Origins Program." The missions in this program examine the origins of galaxies, stars, and planetary systems, and the evolution of these structures with cosmic time. The Hubble Fellowships are administered for NASA by the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md.
The 2009 Hubble Fellows are:
