Hubble Returns to Full Science Observations and Releases New Images

Post by Dragon Mon Jul 26, 2021 2:41 am

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope is back in business, exploring the universe near and far.

The science instruments have returned to full operation, following recovery from a computer anomaly that suspended the telescope’s observations for more than a month.

Science observations restarted the afternoon of Saturday, July 17.

These images, from a program led by Julianne Dalcanton of the University of Washington in Seattle, demonstrate Hubble's return to full science operations.

[Left] ARP-MADORE2115-273 is a rarely observed example of a pair of interacting galaxies in the southern hemisphere.

[Right] ARP-MADORE0002-503 is a large spiral galaxy with unusual, extended spiral arms.

While most disk galaxies have an even number of spiral arms, this one has three.
