Artist's Concept of Aurorae and Ganymede Caption: This is an artist's concept of the moon Ganymede as it orbits the giant planet Jupiter. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope observed aurorae on the moon that are controlled by Ganymede's magnetic fields. Credits: Illustration Credit: NASA, ESA, and G. Bacon (STScI); Science Credit: NASA, ESA, and J. Saur (University of Cologne, Germany)

"Peekaboo" Dwarf Galaxy HIPASS J1131–31 Caption: Tiny galaxy HIPASS J1131–31 peeks out from behind the glare of star TYC 7215-199-1, a Milky Way star positioned between Hubble and the galaxy. One hundred years ago, this fast-moving foreground star would have appeared directly in the line of sight, and the "Peekaboo" galaxy would not have been detectable at all.

Artist's View of Exoplanet Orbiting the Star HD 189733 Caption This is an artist's impression of the Jupiter-size extrasolar planet, HD 189733b, being eclipsed by its parent star. Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have measured carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in the planet's atmosphere. Credits ESA, NASA, M. Kornmesser (ESA/Hubble), and STScI

Crab Nebula Caption: The eerie glow of a dead star, which exploded long ago as a supernova, reveals itself in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image of the Crab Nebula. But don't be fooled. The ghoulish-looking object still has a pulse. Buried at its center is the star's tell-tale heart, which beats with rhythmic precision. Credits: NASA and ESA; Acknowledgment: M. Weisskopf (NASA Marshall Space Flight Center)

Hubble Finds Mature Galaxy Masquerading as Toddler Caption NASA's Hubble Space Telescope quashed the possibility that what was previously believed to be a toddler galaxy in the nearby universe may actually be considered an adult. Called I Zwicky 18, this galaxy has a youthful appearance that resembles galaxies typically found only in the early universe. Credits NASA, ESA, and A. Aloisi (Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, Md., and European Space Agency)

Visible-Light and X-Ray Composite Image of Galaxy Cluster 1E 0657-556 Caption This composite image shows the galaxy cluster 1E 0657-556, also known as the "bullet cluster." This cluster was formed after the collision of two large clusters of galaxies, the most energetic event known in the universe since the Big Bang. Credits X-ray: NASA/CXC/M.Markevitch et al.
