2003 (continued)

• 9/4/2003 STScI-2003-24 21. Celestial Composition Amid a backdrop of far-off galaxies, the majestic dusty spiral NGC 3370 looms in the foreground in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image. Recent observations taken with the Advanced... (More)
• 5/7/2003 STScI-2003-15 22. Deepest View of Space Yields Young Stars in Andromeda Halo Relying on the deepest visible-light images ever taken in space, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST) have reliably measured... (More)
• 1/8/2003 STScI-2003-04 23. Giant Radio Jet Coming from Wrong Kind of Galaxy These are composite images of the galaxy 0313-192, the first spiral galaxy known to be producing a giant radio-emitting jet. The image at left represents... (More)

2002

• 10/3/2002 STScI-2002-23 24. Odd Couple Widely Separated by Time and Space Appearances can be deceiving. In this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image, an odd celestial duo, the spiral galaxy NGC 4319 [center] and a quasar called Markarian... (More)
• 9/5/2002 STScI-2002-21 25. A Wheel within a Wheel A nearly perfect ring of hot, blue stars pinwheels about the yellow nucleus of an unusual galaxy known as Hoag's Object. This image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures a face-on... (More)
• 6/5/2002 STScI-2002-13 26. Hubble's Infrared Camera is Back in Business — New Images Released After more than three years of inactivity, the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) has reopened its “near-infrared... (More)

• 2/7/2002 STScI-2002-03 28. Hubble Reveals "Backwards" Spiral Galaxy Astronomers have found a spiral galaxy that may be spinning to the beat of a different cosmic drummer. To the surprise of astronomers, the galaxy, called NGC 4622, appears to be rotating... (More)

2001

• 11/1/2001 STScI-2001-37 29. Hubble Reveals Ultraviolet Galactic Ring The appearance of a galaxy can depend strongly on the color of the light with which it is viewed. This Hubble Heritage image of NGC 6782 illustrates a pronounced example of this effect. (More)
• 9/6/2001 STScI-2001-26 30. A Galaxy Blazes With Star Formation Most galaxies form new stars at a fairly slow rate, but members of a rare class known as "starburst" galaxies blaze with extremely active star formation. (More)
