![This artist's concept shows a brown dwarf, an object more massive than a planet but smaller than a star. The dwarf is a cherry-red sphere. It has horizontal stripes of various shades of red that are cloud bands. In the dark background there are myriad stars that are inside our Milky Way galaxy.](https://cdn.statically.io/img/science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/hubble-brown-dwarf-illustration-stsci-01hqtgma3t0e0fmag6kd1d053k.jpg?w=4096&format=jpeg)
NASA’s Hubble Finds that Aging Brown Dwarfs Grow Lonely
![A side-by-side image showing both faces of Jupiter on the black background of space. At the top, left corner of the left-hand image is the label Jupiter. Centered at the bottom is the label "January 5, 2024." Jupiter is banded in stripes of brownish orange, light gray, soft yellow, and shades of cream, punctuated with many large storms and small white clouds. The largest storm, the Great Red Spot, is the most prominent feature in the left bottom third of this view. To its lower right is a smaller reddish anticyclone, Red Spot Jr. On the right-hand image, centered at the bottom is the label "January 6, 2024." This opposite side of Jupiter is also banded in stripes of brownish orange, light gray, soft yellow, and shades of cream, with many large storms and small white clouds punctuating the planet. At upper right of center, a pair of storms appear next to each other: a deep-red, triangle-shaped cyclone and a reddish anticyclone. Toward the far-left edge of this view is Jupiter's tiny orange-colored moon Io.](https://cdn.statically.io/img/science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/hubble-jupiter-jan2024-stsci-01hpmmg9ft9f6s1n7pdevpa8h0.png?w=4096&format=png)
Hubble Tracks Jupiter’s Stormy Weather
![A spiral galaxy with a small bar of bright-white stars at its core. Two main spiral arms extend outward from each end of the bar. They appear to fork into multiple branches beyond the galaxy's core. The spiral arms have a lavender hue. Bright-white and bright-red stars dot the galaxy. Reddish-brown dust lanes line the inner curves of the spiral arms.](https://cdn.statically.io/img/science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/hubble-webb-univexpansion-ngc-5468-stsci-01hq6cms8hdh8ear4eheaksp5n.png?w=4096&format=png)
NASA’s Webb, Hubble Telescopes Affirm Universe’s Expansion Rate, Puzzle Persists
![This is a picture of a galaxy with a peculiar S-shape. It has a bright milky-white core at the center. Twin arms of blue stars wrap around the core. One arm looks particularly stretched out due to the gravitational tidal pull of a neighboring galaxy. Bright, young, whitish star clusters are strung along the arm like a string of pearls. They formed as a result of the collision process.](https://cdn.statically.io/img/science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/hubble-am1054-325-stsci-01hn3advebby90vcp5v9ewh6a8.png?w=4096&format=png)

![Mosaic of the Pillars of Creation visualization model, composed of 4 rectangular strips oriented 45 degrees clockwise from vertical. Strips alternate between Hubble and Webb views of the visualization model, with each strip labeled: “Hubble” at lower right corners of first and third strips; “Webb” at upper left corners of the second and fourth strips. Webb strips have drop shadows that make it look like they are overlaid on top of larger Hubble image. Mosaic shows 3 vertical structures (pillars) of thick smoke-like material. Pillar edges are glowing, with thin wisps of material moving away into space. In Hubble strips, pillars are dark brown and opaque, on greenish blue background. In Webb strips, pillars are bright orange to brown with a distinct area of bright red at the top of middle pillar. A red star appears at the tip of a peak in the left pillar and the background is deep blue.](https://cdn.statically.io/img/science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/hubble-webb-m16pillars-nolabels-stsci-01hz7ha3a3zksjj90yczpv7xq2.png?w=4096&format=png)

![A galaxy against a black backdrop dotted with more distant galaxies and a few foreground stars. The galaxy is slightly tilted toward us, providing a good view of dark dust lanes from slightly above. They are backlit by the galaxy’s core. This dust appears rusty-brown. The core itself glows brightly in a yellowish light as brilliant-blue regions sparkle through the dust. Several background galaxies also are visible, including an edge-on spiral just to the left of NGC 1546.](https://cdn.statically.io/img/science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/hubble-ngc1546-stsci-h-p24026a-f-4032x3701-1.jpg?w=4096&format=jpeg)

![A dark cloud of gas and dust sits along the top half of the image. The cloud is illuminated by a bright-white star below it and just to the right of image center. Another bright object, looking like a bright, vertical disk bisected by a dark cloud, sits just to the right of the main cloud and above and to the right of the bright-white star. A jet of bright, turquoise light streams to the left and right from each side of the vertical disk-like object. A section of the jet, to the left, appears to be hidden behind the dark cloud, but emerges from the cloud left of image center. The background is black with rusty hues near the bright-white star.](https://cdn.statically.io/img/science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/hubble-fstau-acs-flat-final2.jpg?w=4096&format=jpeg)

![The bright-white, diffuse glow of an elliptical galaxy sits at image center. The galaxy's core appears as an intense-white circle that gets more diffuse as you move outward from the core. A rusty-red, diffuse cloud is visible to the upper-left of the galaxy. It extends to the upper-left corner of the image, where it is very faint. Black background dotted with foreground stars and distant galaxies.](https://cdn.statically.io/img/science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/hubble-m105-potw1901a.jpg?w=4096&format=jpeg)

![Clouds of gas and dust with many stars. The clouds form a flat, blue background toward the bottom, and become thicker and smokier toward the top. Stars on one side light the nebula. A thick arc of gas and dust reaches around from the bottom-right corner of the image toward the top-left corner. It begins as a dark and obscuring cloud at bottom right and gradually becomes brightly lit by many stars at the upper left. Other large, foreground stars lie between the nebula and the viewer.](https://cdn.statically.io/img/science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/hubble-rcw7-potw2425a.jpg?w=4096&format=jpeg)

![A globular cluster that looks like a very dense, ball-shaped collection of many shining stars in colors of white, yellow-orange, and blue. Some stars appear a bit larger and brighter than others, with the brightest having faint cross-shaped diffraction spikes. The cluster’s stars are scattered mostly uniformly, with their density increasing toward the cluster’s core where they merge into a strong, bright-white glow.](https://cdn.statically.io/img/science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/hubble-ngc2005-potw2424a.jpg?w=4096&format=jpeg)

![A close-in view of a barred spiral galaxy. The bright, glowing bar crosses the center of the galaxy, with spiral arms curving away from the bar’s ends and continuing out of view. Bright patches of light where stars are forming surround the bar, which also holds dark lines of dust. The galaxy’s clouds of gas spread out from its arms and bar, giving way to a dark background with some foreground stars and small, distant galaxies.](https://cdn.statically.io/img/science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/hubble-ngc4731-potw2422a.jpg?w=4096&format=jpeg)
