Telescope's cosmic snapshots

Hubble images are photographs taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, a powerful orbital observatory launched in 1990.

These images have become iconic for revealing distant galaxies, nebulae, and other celestial phenomena in stunning detail: The Hubble images of the Pillars of Creation changed how we see the universe.

The term often evokes the awe-inspiring, colorful deep-space photography that has shaped popular understanding of the cosmos.
