Images from Hubble have also revealed that flat disks of dust and gases, thought to be possible precursors to planet formation, encircle many developing stars. The number of discovered extrasolar planets (exoplanets) has increased. The results include four new discoveries that are consistent with planets of similar masses to Earth, published today in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Stelter / Wikimedia Commons Tantalising evidence has been uncovered for a mysterious population of free-floating planets, planets that may be alone in deep space, unbound to any host star. Outside our galaxy, Hubble data confirmed the existence of black holes and sent back data on the phenomena of star death, quasars and more. Tantalising evidence has been uncovered for a mysterious population of free-floating planets which may be alone in deep space, unbound to any host star. Telescope Glimpses Population of Free-Floating Exoplanets Press release Royal Astronomical Society JA. Plus, Hubble relayed photos of a volcanic eruption from Io, spotted storms on Neptune, Jupiter and Mars, captured images of Saturn and Jupiter's auroras and even gave a weather report for the Pathfinder landing on Mars.

Hubble data revealed the existence of oxygen on Europa. Tantalising evidence has been uncovered for a mysterious population of free-floating planets, planets that may be alone in deep space, unbound to any host star. In addition to the things we have learned from Hubble about the nature of deep space and the history and development of the universe, we have also found out more about our own cosmic neighborhood. Rogue planets: NASA’s new target could redefine our understanding of life. 11:45 UTC Tantalizing evidence has been uncovered for a mysterious population of 'free-floating' planets, planets that may be alone in deep space, unbound to any host star. Kepler telescope glimpses population of free-floating planets. The HDF research has also supported the theory that the universe looks the same in all directions. Kepler telescope glimpses population of free-floating planets. Most of the stars that exist today were born during this stellar population explosion. Tantalising evidence has been found for a mysterious free-floating, or unbound, population. Studies of the HDF images have uncovered many surprising new discoveries, such as the occurrence of a 'stellar baby boom' shortly after the Big Bang which peaked around three billion years later. Kepler telescope glimpses population of free-floating planets. So when Hubble captures images from far away into the deep universe, it's also like looking back in time. Because the HDF project examines objects billions of light years away, the light Hubble captures is from events that happened billions of years ago. One of the most amazing areas of research undertaken by Hubble scientists has been the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HDF) project.
