It's #HubbleFriday time! ⏰ Last month, Hubble captured this spectacular view of a barred spiral galaxy named NGC 3059, located about 57 million light-years away. Find out more about the filters Hubble used to gather different wavelengths of light: go.nasa.gov/3yQxNWJ

After careful consideration, work is underway to transition @NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to operate using only one gyroscope. This change will allow Hubble to continue making important observations through this decade and into the next. Find out why we're making this change…

Blowing cosmic bubbles 🫧 On the left side of this #HubbleClassic view, a young star's intense ultraviolet radiation and stellar wind carves out a gas cavity. Called N44F, this nebula is about 160,000 light-years away. Read more: go.nasa.gov/3VjNdLH

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope entered safe mode May 24 due to an ongoing gyroscope issue, temporarily suspending science operations. Hubble’s instruments are stable, and the telescope is in good health: go.nasa.gov/4aInyAS

NGC 4731 sets the bar high. This galaxy is home to a "bar" structure, caused by the orbits of its stars and gas lining up to create a dense region. About 60% of all galaxies are barred spiral galaxies, like the one in this #HubbleFriday image: go.nasa.gov/3X4Ksix
