Zoom in to the center of our Milky Way galaxy with the help of the Hubble Space Telescope. The telescope’s infrared vision pierced its dusty heart to reveal more than half a million stars. The stars are part of the Milky Way's nuclear star cluster, the most massive and densest stellar cluster in our galaxy. Located 27,000 light-years away, this region is so packed with stars that it is equivalent to having 1 million Suns crammed into the volume of space between us and our closest stellar neighbo

Our Sun is just one of a vast number of stars within a galaxy called the Milky Way, which in turn is only one of the billions of galaxies in our universe. And thanks to Hubble's vision, we can peer far beyond our celestial neighborhood. This Reel explores some of Hubble's iconic images of galaxies, taking you on a tour to galaxies millions of light-years away! But we've also been sharing brand new galaxy images from Hubble all week long, with more still to come. You can check out these new views

New imagery from our Hubble Space Telescope is capturing details never before seen on Jupiter. High-resolution maps and spinning globes (rendered in the 4k Ultra HD format) reveal an elusive wave and changes to Jupiter’s Great Red Spot.
