Nothing says #AstronomyDay like a new episode of Hubble's Inside the Image! π
Today, learn more about gravitationally lensed supernova Refsdal. A galaxy clusterβs massive gravitational field amplifies the light from a supernova, coming from behind it!
Dust in detail! π
Hubble's sharp resolution captured this edge-on view of the lenticular galaxy NGC 4753.
This #HubbleFriday view reveals complex dust structures, likely caused by a potential merger with a different galaxy about 1.3 billion years ago: go.nasa.gov/4aksZ93
Dreamer turned scientist for Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and Hubble π
In 1967, Dr. Ken Carpenter was a teenager fact-checking a βStar Trekβ episode at his local library, now he helps astronomers all over the world explore the leading edge of astronomy.

This #MothersDay , we're thinking of Vera Rubin β also known as the 'Mother of Dark Matter'!
This galaxy was nicknamed Rubin's Galaxy because she studied it in search of dark matter, which is like the invisible scaffolding of our universe. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4afeDGL
Another day at the star factory β
This #HubbleFriday view shows UGC 9684, an active star-forming galaxy, which means it's also home to supernovae β explosions that occur at the end of big stars' lives.
It's hosted four supernova-like events since 2006: go.nasa.gov/4buYf6b
