Hubble Floating Free After Servicing Mission 3B (2002) Caption The Hubble Space Telescope floats against the background of Earth after a week of repair and upgrade by Space Shuttle Columbia astronauts Servicing Mission 3B (SM3B, STS-103) in 2002. Hubble's fourth servicing mission gave the telescope its first new instrument installed since the 1997 repair mission – the Advanced Camera for Surveys. It doubled Hubble’s field of view and records information much faster than Hubble’s Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. Credits NASA

Hubble Restored: The Telescope's Latest Look (2002) Caption The revamped Hubble Space Telescope, fresh from its fourth visit by astronauts, sports new solar arrays on its outside, and new instruments inside. The new solar arrays, which collect sunlight to power the telescope, are smaller than the previous ones, but more powerful. This image was taken shortly after Hubble separated from the Columbia space shuttle in March 2002, making it the most up-to-date picture of the Hubble Space Telescope. Credits NASA

Artist's Illustration of Mini-Neptune TOI 560.01 Caption: This is an artist's Illustration of the mini-Neptune TOI 560.01, located 103 light-years away in the Hydra constellation. The planet, which orbits closely to its star, is losing its puffy atmosphere and may ultimately transform into a super-Earth. Credits: Artwork - Adam Makarenko (Keck Observatory)

Visible and Infrared Visualization of the Orion Nebula Caption: This image showcases both the visible-light and the infrared-light visualizations of the Orion Nebula. This view from the movie sequence looks down the “valley” leading to the star cluster at the far end. The left side of the image shows the visible-light visualization, which fades to the infrared visualization on the right. Credits: NASA, ESA, F. Summers, G. Bacon, Z. Levay, J. DePasquale, L.
