Journey to Spiral Galaxy NGC 1073 in Cetus | Hubble Space Telescope FriendsofNASA.org: This video zooms from an image of constellation of Cetus (the Sea Monster) into a closeup of the galaxy NGC 1073, imaged by the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is thought to have a similar barred spiral shape, and the study of galaxies such as NGC 1073 can help astronomers learn more about our celestial home.

Moon Shadows on Planet Saturn | Hubble Space Telescope FriendsofNASA.org: Saturn's wide, but very thin, rings are tilted with respect to its plane of orbit around the Sun. Once every 15 years, the rings are edge-on (perpendicular) to the Sun. During those times, Saturn's moons can cast shadows across the rings. This time-lapse video shows the icy moons Enceladus, Mimas, Dione, and Tethys orbiting Saturn. Enceladus, seemingly chased by Mimas, is first to speed past the rings and in front of the p

Close-up: Spiral Galaxy NGC 1073 in Cetus | Hubble Space Telescope FriendsofNASA.org: The NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope has taken a picture of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1073. It is found in the constellation of Cetus (The Sea Monster). Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is thought to be a similar barred spiral, and the study of galaxies, such as NGC 1073, can help astronomers learn more about our celestial home.
