21 years Hubble has profoundly changed our view of the universe, allowing us to see deep into the past while opening our eyes to the majesty of Allah and His power around us

| Astronomers pointed Hubble's eye at an especially photogenic pair of interacting galaxies called Arp 273 |
 |
| Hubble has taken this stunning close-up shot of part of the Tarantula Nebula |
 |
| The Cosmic Butterfly |
 |
| Two galaxies that form Arp 147 shows a vast cosmic ring of stars (blue) and black holes (pink) as seen by the Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope. |
 |
| The image at right is Hubble's close-up view of the myriad stars near the core of galaxy M83, the bright whitish region at far right |
 |
| Five Galaxies at Once |
 |
| The Hubble Space Telescope's newly repaired Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) has peered nearly 5 billion light-years away to resolve intricate details in the galaxy cluster Abell 37, one of the first galaxy clusters where astronomers observed the phenomenon of gravitational lensing. |

| This image of barred spiral galaxy NGC 6217 |
 |
| The spiral galaxy NGC 4710 shows a faint, ethereal "X"-shaped bulge at the galaxy's center |
 |
| A recent NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope close-up image of part of NGC 7023, or the Iris Nebula, shows that the area is clogged with cosmic dust |
 |
| "Space jellyfish" is one of several new protoplanetary discs, or proplyds discovered in the Orion Nebula, 181-825 is one of the bright proplyds that lies relatively close to the nebula’s brightest star, Theta 1 Orionis C. Resembling a tiny jellyfish, this proplyd is surrounded by a shock wave that is caused by stellar wind from the massive Theta 1 Orionis C interacting with gas in the nebula. The objects are so far away that even with Hubble's keen eye, they appear blurry |
 |
| New atlas features 30 proplyds, or protoplanetary discs, that were recently discovered in the majestic Orion Nebula using the Hubble Space Telescope |
 |
| 30 Doradus, the blue color is light from the hottest, most massive stars; the green from the glow of oxygen; and the red from fluorescing hydrogen. |
 |
| Observations using infrared light and X-ray light see through the obscuring dust and reveal the intense activity near the galactic core of the Milky Way |
