Hubble Does it Again, Time After Time!

There are at least three major science news releases thanks to data of the Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble is not giving up on the Jaw Dropping business!

1) "When astronomers detected intense radiation pumping out of the Crab Nebula, one of the most studied objects in space, at higher energies than anyone thought possible, they were nothing short of stunned." Learn more here.

2) "Observations made by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope of a special type of supernovae contributed to research on the expansion of the universe that today was honored with the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics." Adam Reiss, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute, Krieger-Eisenhower professor in physics and astronomy at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Saul Perlmutter, an astrophysicist at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory won the Physics 2011 Nobel Award for transforming our understanding of our universe by discovering that not only the universe is expanding, but also its expansion is accelerating.

3] In a re-analysis of 1998 Hubble data, astronomers have found "visual evidence for two extrasolar planets that went undetected back then."
