Hubble Science: Planetary Missions, Fossils of our Solar System

An Einstein Ring can be explained by a phenomenon called gravitational lensing, which causes light shining from a faraway galaxy to be warped by the gravity of an object between its source and the observer. This effect was first theorized by Albert Einstein in 1912, and later worked into his theory of general relativity.In this video, Dr. Brian Welch explains this fascinating phenomenon of nature, and goes over how important Hubble is to exploring the mysteries of the universe.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.

When the Hubble Space Telescope launched, one of its main goals was to learn more about our incredible universe.Using Hubble, astronomers have learned more about globular clusters. Globular clusters are stable, tightly gravitationally bound clusters of tens of thousands to millions of stars found in a wide variety of galaxies. The intense gravitational attraction between the closely packed stars gives globular clusters a regular, spherical shape.In this video, Dr. Ken Carpenter explains just how amazing these objects are.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.

When the Hubble Space Telescope launched, one of its main goals was to measure the rate at which our universe is expanding. That rate is called the “Hubble Constant” – named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble, who contributed to the discovery of the universe’s expansion. Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have been able to measure the Hubble Constant and even found out that the expansion rate of our universe is accelerating due to a mysterious force known as dark energy.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.

For the past 31 years, the Hubble Space Telescope has continued its important mission of uncovering the mysteries of the universe. One of those mysteries that Hubble has helped us begin to understand are the beautiful nebulae in space.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.
