In the News: Hubble's Deepest-Ever View of the Universe

This week's In the News highlights the recent finding of distant galaxies by the Hubble Space Telescope. Scientists recently activated the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) aboard the Hubble Telescope to peer into formerly unseen areas of the universe. What they saw were the "faintest galaxies ever seen." The distance to these galaxies cannot be confirmed until the year...

Magnificent Details in a Dusty Spiral Galaxy

The spiral galaxy NGC 4414 was first imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope over the course of two months in 1995. However, due to its large size, only half of the galaxy was visible in the datasets collected. This year the Hubble team returned to NGC 4414 and completed the portrait. The results, recently released online, are some beautiful images of a dusty spiral galaxy containing older yellow and...

Multiple Galaxy Collisions Surprise Hubble Astronomers

Recent surprising discoveries have led Hubble space telescope astronomers to rethink theories on a class of galaxies called ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRG). It was previously believed that only pairs of galaxies were interacting in ULIRGs, but recent photos from Hubble show multiple collisions of four or even five galaxies smashing together. The images, provided at this site, offer a...

Telescopes

The first Web site on telescopes comes from Enchanted Learning.com, called Inventions: Telescopes (1). This site gives a brief description of the history of telescopes and their inventors, beginning with Hans Lippershey and his refracting telescope in 1608. The next site, offered by NASA, is the Telescope in Education site (2). This program provides students from around the world the opportunity...
