Take a deep breath: the universe is not just big it’s mind-bogglingly, practically scandalously huge. And it’s growing. A century ago, Edwin Hubble peered through his telescope and shattered human ...

Since the 1920s, astronomers have classified galaxies based on a sequence of varying galaxy anatomy called the "Hubble sequence." Spiral galaxies like ours sit at one end of this sequence, while ...

To cleave out evolutionary paths on the Hubble sequence, Graham looked at 100 galaxies near to the Milky Way in optical light images collected by the Hubble Space Telescope and compared them to ...

While Hubble sequence galaxies tend to follow one of two predictable evolutionary paths, nobody knows for certain how ring galaxies form. One of the leading hypotheses is that they result from ...

A paper describing the findings, ‘The JWST Hubble Sequence: The Rest-Frame Optical Evolution of Galaxy Structure at 1.5 The Astrophysical Journal. Additional reporting by agencies More about ...

This new image showcases NGC 346, a dazzling young star cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud. ESA/Hubble & NASA, A. Nota, P. Massey, E. Sabbi, C. Murray, M. Zamani (ESA/Hubble) This month sees a ...

Hubble Space Telescope's 35th anniversary: See NASA's new out-of-this-world images The Hubble Space Telescope, launched 35 years ago, has blown our minds with its striking images of far-away ...

A sequence of images captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope showed how much the giant storm changed shape as it traveled within the planet’s atmosphere.

The Hubble Classification, also known as the Hubble Sequence, is a widely recognized method for systematically categorizing galaxy morphology. Galaxies are classified into elliptical, lenticular ...

Under the standard Hubble sequence method of classification, galaxies typically fall into one of four categories: elliptical, lenticular, spiral and irregular. Elliptical galaxies appear fairly ...
