Galaxy Collision I – Approach Caption This image is a still frame from a standard video presentation (i.e., for television instead of a planetarium dome) of the galaxy collision scientific visualization. The two galaxies are being pulled together by their mutual gravity. Their shapes stay pretty much the same right up until they collide. Credits Image Frank Summers (STScI), Chris Mihos (CWRU), Lars Hernquist (Harvard)

Quasar Outflows Illustration Caption: This is an artist's concept of a distant galaxy with an active quasar at its center. A quasar emits exceptionally large amounts of energy generated by a supermassive black hole fueled by infalling matter. Using the unique capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered that blistering radiation pressure from the vicinity of the black hole pushes material away from the galaxy's center at a fraction of the speed of light.

NASA’s Hubble Sees Martian Moon Orbiting the Red Planet Caption: The sharp eye of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured the tiny moon Phobos during its orbital trek around Mars. Because the moon is so small, it appears star-like in the Hubble pictures. Credits: NASA, ESA, and Z. Levay (STScI) Acknowledgment: J. Bell (ASU) and M. Wolff (Space Science Institute)

Itsy Bitsy Solar System Caption This artist's conception compares a hypothetical solar system centered around a tiny "sun" (top) to a known solar system centered around a star, called 55 Cancri, which is about the same size as our sun. NASA's Spitzer and Hubble Space Telescopes and two telescopes in the Chilean Andes, the Blanco telescope of the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory and the Gemini South telescope, discovered the beginnings of such a miniature solar system 500 light-years away in the Chamaeleon constellation.

Artist's Concept of Nearest Exoplanet to Our Solar System Caption This is an artist's concept of a Jupiter-mass planet orbiting the nearby star Epsilon Eridani. Located 10.5 light-years away, it is the closest known exoplanet to our solar system. The planet is in an elliptical orbit that carries it as close to the star as Earth is from the Sun, and as far from the star as Jupiter is from the Sun. Credits NASA, ESA, and G. Bacon (STScI)
