As expected, NASA’s budget axes a partnership with the European Space Agency that was to send two robotic probes to Mars later this decade. With the agency’s budget declining 0.3 percent to $17.7 billion, the Mars program lost out to the massively over-budget James Webb Space Telescope, the successor to the aging Hubble Space Telescope. The Webb will continue toward a 2018 launch.

Greenbelt, MD - Most spiral galaxies in the Universe have a bar structure in their centre, and Hubble’s image of NGC 1073 offers a particularly clear view of one of these. Galaxies’ star-filled bars are thought to emerge as gravitational density waves funnel gas toward the galactic centre, supplying the material to create new stars. [...]

Greenbelt, MD - Thanks to the presence of a natural "zoom lens" in space, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope got a uniquely close-up look at the brightest "magnified" galaxy yet discovered. This observation provides a unique opportunity to study the physical properties of a galaxy vigorously forming stars when the universe was only one-third its present [...]

(PhysOrg.com) -- A team led by UCLA research astronomer Michael Rich has used a unique telescope to discover a previously unknown companion to the nearby galaxy NGC 4449, which is some 12.5 million light years from Earth. The newly discovered dwarf galaxy had escaped even the prying eyes of the Hubble Space Telescope.

The Hubble Space Telescope’s userers at the European Space Agency, which is a junior partner to NASA on the telescopes management, released today a stunning image of a galaxy called NGC 1073. If Milky Way specialists are right, it looks a lot like the one in which the Sun and its planets circulate. The distant galaxy is hardly new to science, having been discovered by German-English telescope wizrd William Herschel in 1785. To the left and...

Unfortunately the telescope won't be launched into orbit until at the soonest 2013.
