First times are always the best; here's what's NASA's first photo from the Hubble Space Telescope looked like and the picture it took after it was repaired.
The universe is losing a galaxy. Recent images from the Hubble Space Telescope show two galaxies in the process of merging.
Posted 4 days ago The gas-giant orbiter is illuminating the provenance of Jovian polar light shows. New results from the Ultraviolet Spectrograph instrument on NASA’s Juno mission reveal for the first time the birth of auroral dawn storms – the early morning brightening unique to Jupiter’s spectacular aurorae. These immense, transient displays of light occur at both Jovian poles and had previously been observed only by ground-based and Earth-orbiting observatories, notably NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Results of this study were published March 16 in the journal AGU Advances. This il...
Story highlights The findings of the research, published in the journal AGU Advances state that the Ultraviolet Spectrograph instrument of the Juno mission, the gas-giant orbiter is illuminating the provenance of Jovian polar light The Juno spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has revealed the dark origins of Jupiter's mysterious auroral storms, in a recent study.

A spectacular and dramatic ultraviolet auroras on Jupiter is generated by charged particles escaping its volcanic moon Io, according to a new NASA study. The origins of the bright blue circular aurora were revealed by the NASA Juno spacecraft, which is currently studying the gas giant from orbit. The Jovian polar light show, also known as the auroral dawn storms, brighten up the early morning north and south poles of the massive world. These immense, transient displays of light evolve in a similar way to 'aurora substorms' that undulate across Earth's polar skies, according to NASA and the...
