Comprehensive coverage
Hubble Space Telescope image of the barred spiral galaxy UGC 12158. The majestic galaxy has a pinwheel shape consisting of bright blue stars surrounding a yellow-white concentration of central stars. This concentration has a diagonal line of stars across it, called a bar. The galaxy is tilted inward to our view from Earth. A white S-shaped line slightly across the top is the Hubble image of an asteroid hovering across the field of view.. It looks dashed because the image is a composite of several exposures of the asteroid flying like a race car. Credit: NASA, ESA, PG Martín (Autonomous University of Madrid), J. DePasquale (STScI).

Discovering new asteroids in old Hubble images

Astronomers re-examined 37,000 images taken by Hubble over 19 years of objects in deep space. The reward was finding 1701 asteroid orbits in the asteroid belt, of which 1031 are uncatalogued asteroids. About 400 of these uncatalogued asteroids are roughly less than a kilometer in size

Muscle in the making: stem cells of muscle tissue (their nuclei are marked in blue) gradually change their structure and function and become mature muscle cells (the cells whose nuclei have turned red). These cells will eventually fuse into one long, multinucleated muscle cell. The ability of this muscle to contract is thanks to a large number of protein fibers produced in the mature muscle cells (marked in green)

This image shows the sky goddess Nut, covered in stars, held aloft by her father, Shu, and towering over her brother with her back to the earth. On the left the rising sun (the falcon-headed god Re) sails up Nut's leg. On the right the setting sun sails down its arms to the outstretched arms of Osiris, who will recreate the sun in the underworld during the night.
