For more than 35 years, the Hubble Space Telescope has transformed astronomy, delivering images that have reshaped our understanding of the cosmos.
Orbiting above Earth’s atmosphere, Hubble can capture light in visible, ultraviolet and near‑infrared wavelengths, producing views far sharper and deeper than ground‑based telescopes.
Hubble has measured how fast the Universe is expanding, revealed how stars are born and die, and uncovered galaxies forming just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.
This gallery brings together some of Hubble’s most striking images, each offering both breathtaking detail and crucial scientific insight.
