1998

• 1/9/1998 STScI-1998-07 41. A New Class of X-ray Star? Teaming up space telescopes to make simultaneous ultraviolet and X-ray observations, astronomers may have solved a 20-year-old mystery and possibly discovered... (More)
• 1/8/1998 STScI-1998-02 42. Hubble Pinpoints Distant Supernovae Peering halfway across the universe to analyze light from exploded stars that died long before our Sun even existed, the Hubble telescope has allowed astronomers to determine that the expansion... (More)
• 1/7/1998 STScI-1998-03 43. Astronomers Have Found a New Twist in a Suspected Proto-Planetary Disk A telltale new warp uncovered in a vast, thin disk of dust encircling the star Beta Pictoris may be caused by the gravitational tug of a bypassing... (More)
• 1/7/1998 STScI-1998-04 44. Hubble Provide Complete View of Jupiter's Auroras The Hubble telescope has captured a complete view of Jupiter's northern and southern auroras. Images taken in ultraviolet light show both auroras, the oval-shaped objects... (More)
• 1/7/1998 STScI-1998-06 45. Hubble Finds Most of Visible Light in the Universe A closer look at the Hubble telescope's most detailed image, the Hubble Deep Field, reveals that the faint galaxies seen by Hubble could account... (More)
• 1/7/1998 STScI-1998-05 46. Hubble Provides Clear Images of Saturn's Aurora Here is the picture of Saturn taken by the Hubble telescope in ultraviolet light. The glowing, swirling material at Saturn's poles is its auroral "curtains,"... (More)

• 6/9/1997 STScI-1997-18 47. Fireworks Near a Black Hole in the Core of Seyfert Galaxy NGC 4151 The Hubble telescope's imaging spectrograph simultaneously records, in unprecedented detail, the velocities of hundreds of gas knots streaming... (More)
• 6/9/1997 STScI-1997-16 48. Hubble Snaps "Family Portrait" The Hubble telescope's infrared camera has peered into the Cone Nebula, revealing a stunning picture of six babies, Sun-like stars surrounding their mother, a bright, massive star. (More)
• 6/9/1997 STScI-1997-17 49. A Collision In The Heart Of A Galaxy The Hubble telescope's infrared camera has uncovered a collision between two spiral galaxies in the heart of the peculiar galaxy called Arp 220. The collision... (More)
• 6/9/1997 STScI-1997-19 50. Hubble Reveals Invisible High-Speed Collision around Supernova 1987A The highest velocity material expelled in a cataclysmic, stellar explosion 10 years ago has been detected for the first time by the Hubble telescope's imaging spectrograph. (More)
