When the Hubble Space Telescope observed Mars near opposition in May, 2016, a sneaky companion photobombed the picture. Phobos, the Greek personification of fear, is one of two tiny moons orbiting Mars. In 13 exposures over 22 minutes, Hubble captured a timelapse of Phobos moving through its 7-hour 39-minute orbit.

Animated graph - Visible and infrared lightcurve of the star/black hole N6946-BH1 Animated graph - Visible lightcurve of the star/black hole N6946-BH1 with Hubble image insets A team of astronomers at The Ohio State University watched a star disappear and possibly become a black hole. Instead of becoming a black hole through the expected process of a supernova, the black hole candidate formed through a "failed supernova." The team used NASA's Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes and the Large Binocular Telescope to observe and monitor the star throughout the past decade. If confirmed, this would be the first time anyone has witnessed the birth of a black hole and the first discovery of a failed supernova.

4. Hubble Memorable Moments: Comet ImpactIn July 1994, the Hubble Space Telescope was poised to use its newly fixed optics to observe one of the most impressive astronomical events of the century - the 21 fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacting Jupiter. But these observations almost didn’t happen.Watch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel. 3. Hubble Memorable Moments: Tinkertoy SolutionThe Hubble Space Telescope got off to a rocky start when shortly after its April, 1990 deployment, operators found that its high-gain antenna was mysteriously stuck. Hubble team members recall that intense week and how they ultimately solved the antenna problem in this third installment of Hubble Memorable Moments: Tinkertoy Solution. Watch on YouTube. 2. Hubble Memorable Moments: Brute ForceIn this second video of NASA's Hubble Memorable Moments series celebrating Hubble's 25 years, the team scrambles to work out an unusual solution to a problem encountered during an instrument repair.The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, or STIS, was installed on Hubble during Servicing Mission 2 in 1997. The versatile instrument was heavily used until a power supply failure in 2004. The Hubble team spent years preparing for a complex repair task in 2009 on the final servicing mission. But no matter how prepared you are, there is always the possibility of an unexpected obstacle.Watch on YouTube. 1. Hubble Memorable Moments: Powering DownIn this first video of NASA's Hubble Memorable Moments series celebrating Hubble's 25 years, the telescope must be completely powered off to replace Hubble's heart.In 1999, engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center discovered that there was a problem with Hubble's Power Control Unit. Hubble team members came up with a plan to replace the unit on Servicing Mission 3B. On March 6, 2002, the day came to put that plan into action. What could go wrong?Watch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.

Press Conference: Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 - July 19, 1994 Press Conference: Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 - July 23, 1994The last comet update, after all comet fragments had impacted Jupiter. Press Conference: Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9Press conference at the Space Telescope Science Institute from the evening of July 16, 1994 about the first day of comet fragment impacts at Jupiter. Heidi Hammel interrupts at 48:55 with the first images from Hubble. In celebration of the 25 years since the Hubble Space Telescope's April 1990 launch, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center recalls intense moments throughout Hubble's history that were memorable for Goddard's engineers and flight operators.
