 | Variable Stars in Distant Spiral GalaxyA NASA ESA Hubble Space Telescope (HST) view of the magnificent spiral galaxy NGC 4603, the most distant galaxy in which a special class of pulsating stars called Cepheid variables have been found. It is associated with the Centaurus cluster, one of the most massive assemblages of galaxies in the nearby universe.Download WallpaperPhoto by: Jeffrey Newman, NASA, ESA |
 | Behind a Dusty Veil Lies a Cradle of Star BirthNGC 253 is a large, almost edge-on spiral galaxy, and is one of the nearest galaxies beyond our local neighborhood of galaxies. This dramatic galaxy shows complex structures such as clumpy gas clouds, darkened dust lanes, and young, luminous central star clusters.Download WallpaperPhoto by: NASA, ESA, Hubble Heritage Team |
 | Life Cycle of StarsIn this stunning picture of the giant galactic nebula NGC 3603, the crisp resolution of the NASA ESA Hubble Space Telescope captures various stages of the life cycle of stars in one single view.Download WallpaperPhoto by: NASA, ESA |
 | N159 in the Large Magellanic CloudA NASA, ESA Hubble Space Telescope view of a turbulent cauldron of starbirth, called N159, taking place 170,000 light-years away in our satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).Download WallpaperPhoto by: NASA, ESA, Hubble Space Telescope |
 | A Mammoth Cosmic CollisionThis spectacular new image from the NASA ESA Hubble Space Telescope of the group of galaxies called Stephan's Quintet has provided a detailed view of one of the most exciting star forming regions in the local Universe.Download WallpaperPhoto by: NASA, ESA |
 | Jupiters Great Red SpotWhen 17th-century astronomers first turned their telescopes to Jupiter, they noted a conspicuous reddish spot on the giant planet. This Great Red Spot is still present in Jupiter's atmosphere, more than 300 years later. It is now known that it is a vast storm, spinning like a cyclone.Download WallpaperPhoto by: NASA, ESA, Hubble Heritage Team |
 | A Reflection Nebula in OrionJust weeks after NASA astronauts repaired the Hubble Space Telescope in December 1999, the Hubble Heritage Project snapped this picture of NGC 1999, a nebula in the constellation Orion.Download WallpaperPhoto by: NASA, ESA and the Hubble Heritage Team |
 | Mars Closest Approach 2007The NASA ESA Hubble Space Telescope took this close-up of the red planet Mars when it was just 88 million kilometers away. This colour image was assembled from a series of exposures taken within 36 hours of the Mars closest approach with Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2.Download WallpaperPhoto by: NASA, ESA, the Hubble Heritage Team |
 | Hubbles Variable NebulaHubble's variable nebula is named (like the Hubble telescope itself) after the American astronomer Edwin P. Hubble, who carried out some ofthe early studies of this object. It is a fan-shaped cloud of gas and dust which is illuminated by R Monocerotis (R Mon), the bright star at the bottom end of the nebula.Download WallpaperPhoto by: NASA, ESA and The Hubble Heritage Team |
 | The Spirograph NebulaGlowing like a multi-faceted jewel, the planetary nebula IC 418 lies about 2, 000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lepus. In this picture, the Hubble telescope reveals some remarkable textures weaving through the nebula. Their origin, however, is still uncertain.Download WallpaperPhoto by: NASA, ESA and The Hubble Heritage Team |
