Rare view of a galaxy with a dramatically asymmetrical shape described as "wobbly": the Hook galaxy.

NASA's X-ray space telescope discovers massive black holes common in the early universe: A composite image combines the deepest X-ray image ever taken with Hubble's optical and infrared data

The nearest supernova factory speeds up: a star-forming region some 7,500 light-years from Earth.

Superb view of Comet.

This image of the International Space Station and the docked Space Shuttle ENDEAVOUR, flying at an altitude of around 320 kilometers, was taken by astronaut Paolo Nespoli, a member of the SOYUZ TMA- 20 crew.

This false-color mosaic produced by NASA's Cassini spacecraft shows the tail of Saturn's huge northern storm.
See PIA14905 to learn more about this storm and observe its evolution over several months.

Planet Saturn.

A superb photograph of space shuttle ENDEAVOUR (Mission STS-134) shot from a NASA training aircraft.

Black Marble. An exceptional photograph of the Earth taken at night. @Since the mid-2000s, new scientific imaging systems have made it possible to obtain extraordinarily realistic images of planet Earth.

Photographic mosaic of the Arctic Ocean.

Exceptional photograph of the globe showing both the photographic capture of three tropical cyclones rotating in the eastern Pacific Ocean on the same day.

At the request of the public, NASA scientists have produced a new photograph of the Earth from the same angle as the iconic first "BLUE MARBBLE" from the APOLLO XVII mission, taken during the last human voyage to the Moon to date.

At around 2.5 million light-years, the Andromeda galaxy, or M31, is our Milky Way's largest galactic neighbor.

Fantastic and rare high-definition view of planet Earth.

This composite view from the HUBBLE space telescope is one of the largest ever taken of a complete galaxy.

An impressive view of the center of a globular cluster.

Venus shines like a bright beacon through Saturn's rings in this unique image taken by the Cassini international space probe on November 10, 2012, when the spacecraft was placed in Saturn's shadow.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has delivered a magnificent view of Saturn, taken while in Saturn's shadow.

Fantastic view of the Earth thanks to the new Suomi" Earth observation system.

We're in the heart of our galaxy: the Milky Way.

The Earth seen from the Arctic from an orbital distance of 824 km.

This scientific photograph combines radio and visible light.

This spectacular, vertigo-inducing false-color image taken by NASA's Cassini mission highlights storms at Saturn's north pole.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft hovered over Saturn to reveal this majestic view of the golden planet and its main rings.
