Hubble Ultra-Deep Field in 3-D
This is a great quick video on the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field including a 3-D view of the galaxies in the Field.
Shuttle Releasing Hubble Space Telescope Video
This is one of the coolest clips I've seen all year. After a successful few days upgrading and repairing Hubble, the shuttle finally released the telescope in a short series of manuevers. This clip shows the release and movement away from Hubble from on board the shuttle.
M87's Black Hole Jet Seen By Hubble
The HST has provided some interesting observations of galaxy M87 where energetic jets appear to be shooting out in an event tagged HST-1:
The outburst is coming from a blob of matter, called HST-1, embedded in the jet, a powerful narrow beam of hot gas produced by a supermassive black hole residing in the core of the giant elliptical galaxy M87. HST-1 is so bright that it is outshining even M87's brilliant core, whose monster black hole is one of the most massive yet discovered.
The glowing gas clump has taken astronomers on a rollercoaster ride of suspense. Astronomers watched HST-1 brighten steadily for several years, then fade, and then brighten again.
