An amazing image of two colliding galaxies, over 62 million light-years away, has been released by NASA, which was taken by its Great Observatories. NASA calls it "A Galactic Spectacular."  

The evolution of galaxies has taken a diverse road over 13.7 billion years or so. Their shapes were classified by U.S. astronomer Edwin Hubble in the 1930s. Now, in the 2010s, two U.S. physicists have finally, for the first time, explained in detail how and why those shapes came to be.

Emerging from 800m underground comes the first real suggestion that dark matter may actually exist.  Dark matter is seeing the light, as it were.

The Hubble Space Telescope has provided a detailed image of two of our galaxy's most massive stars.

For the first time, astronomers have directly observed a planet orbiting a star other than our own Sun. The historic image was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.

ABC NewsRadio, Australia’s only 24 hour continuous news service, has axed one of its longest running programs because it wants to divert funding elsewhere. The program? StarStuff, the only space, science, astronomy and cosmology show on Australian radio. What a shame!

An international team of scientists used the Hubble Space Telescope to find a never-before-seen  double Einstein ring. The important discovery helps astronomers learn more about dark matter, dark energy, and curved space of the universe.         

Space Shuttle Atlantis has been scheduled for an August mission to repair and upgrade the Hubble Space Telescope.

A new U.S. study has found complex organic molecules, tholins, in the dust cloud around the star HR 4796A. The important conclusion of these researchers is that this discovery provides good evidence that living organisms are common throughout planetary systems.            

According to a study performed by U.S. and Spanish astronomers, alien astronomers could “hypothetically” identify Earth as a planet orbiting the Sun and observe our planet with clouds and oceans—just like we are trying to do with planets circling other stars.
