9/9/2009 STScI-2009-25 1. Hubble Opens New Eyes on the Universe NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is back in business, ready to uncover new worlds, peer ever deeper into space, and even map the invisible backbone of the universe. (More)
7/24/2009 STScI-2009-23 2. Hubble Captures Rare Jupiter Collision NASA scientists have interrupted the checkout and calibration of the Hubble Space Telescope to aim the recently refurbished observatory at a new expanding spot on the giant planet Jupiter. (More)

12/18/2008 STScI-2008-42 3. Hubble Catches Jupiter's Largest Moon Going to the 'Dark Side' NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has caught Jupiter's moon Ganymede playing a game of "peek-a-boo." In this crisp Hubble image, Ganymede... (More)
7/17/2008 STScI-2008-27 4. Three Red Spots Mix it Up on Jupiter This sequence of Hubble Space Telescope images offers an unprecedented view of a planetary game of Pac-Man among three red spots clustered together in Jupiter's atmosphere. (More)
5/22/2008 STScI-2008-23 5. New Red Spot Appears on Jupiter In what's beginning to look like a case of planetary measles, a third red spot has appeared alongside its cousins — the Great Red Spot and Red Spot Jr. — in the turbulent... (More)
1/23/2008 STScI-2008-06 6. Internal Heat Drives Jupiter's Giant Storm Eruption Detailed analysis of two continent-sized storms that erupted in Jupiter's atmosphere in March 2007 shows that Jupiter's internal heat plays a significant role in generating... (More)

6/28/2007 STScI-2007-25 7. Hubble Catches Jupiter Changing Its Stripes Massive Jupiter is undergoing dramatic atmospheric changes that have never been seen before with the keen "eye" of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. (More)
3/1/2007 STScI-2007-11 8. Hubble Monitors Jupiter in Support of the New Horizons Flyby NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has recently taken images of Jupiter in support of the New Horizons Mission. The images were taken with Hubble's... (More)

5/4/2006 STScI-2006-19 9. Hubble Snaps Baby Pictures of Jupiter's "Red Spot Jr." NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is giving astronomers their most detailed view yet of a second red spot emerging on Jupiter. For the first time in history, astronomers... (More)

11/4/2004 STScI-2004-30 10. Hubble Spots Rare Triple Eclipse on Jupiter At first glance, Jupiter looks like it has a mild case of the measles. Five spots – one colored white, one blue, and three black – are scattered... (More)

12/14/2000 STScI-2000-38 11. Satellite Footprints Seen in Jupiter Aurora In this Hubble telescope picture, a curtain of glowing gas is wrapped around Jupiter's north pole like a lasso. This curtain of light, called an aurora, is produced when high-energy... (More)

8/5/1999 STScI-1999-29 12. Hubble Views Ancient Storm in the Atmosphere of Jupiter When 17th-century astronomers first turned their telescopes to Jupiter, they noted a conspicuous reddish spot on the giant planet. (More)
4/20/1999 STScI-1999-13 13. Hubble Clicks Images of Io Sweeping across Jupiter While hunting for volcanic plumes on Io, the Hubble telescope captured these images of the volatile moon sweeping across the giant face of Jupiter. (More)

1/7/1998 STScI-1998-04 14. 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)

11/20/1997 STScI-1997-37 15. Hubble Provides Infrared View of Moon, Ring, and Clouds Probing Jupiter's atmosphere for the first time, the Hubble telescope's infrared camera is providing a sharp glimpse of the planet's ring, moon, and high-altitude... (More)
6/19/1997 STScI-1997-21 16. Hubble Captures Volcanic Eruption Plume From Io The Hubble telescope has snapped a picture of a 400-kilometer-high (250-mile-high) plume of gas and dust from a volcanic eruption on Io, Jupiter's large, innermost moon. (More)

10/17/1996 STScI-1996-32 17. Hubble Follows Rapid Changes in Jupiter's Aurora The Hubble telescope's sharp view of the rapid, spectacular dance of luminescent gases high in Jupiter's atmosphere ? better known as aurora ? is allowing astronomers... (More)
10/4/1996 STScI-1996-30 18. Rare Hubble Portrait of Io and Jupiter This image shows Jupiter's volcanic moon Io passing above the turbulent clouds of the giant planet. The conspicuous black spot on Jupiter is Io's shadow. (More)

11/29/1995 STScI-1995-49 19. HST's Greatest Hits 1990-1995 Hubble Space Telescope evokes a new sense of awe and wonder about the infinite richness of our universe in dramatic, unprecedented pictures of celestial objects. Like a traveler sharing... (More)
