Hubble helps NASA discover more than 6,000 new worlds
Hubble’s ultraviolet vision has helped scientists reveal atmospheres and exotic properties on distant worlds, NASA said, as the confirmed count tops 6,000.
- NASA announced Friday that the Hubble Space Telescope reached a milestone of more than 6,000 confirmed exoplanets, marking a historic achievement in planetary discovery.
- When Hubble launched in 1990, not a single exoplanet was known, making the telescope's transformation of planetary science extraordinary over three decades.
- Hubble's ultraviolet vision reveals atmospheres of distant worlds, showing planets that are "football-shaped", evaporating into space, or "as dark as fresh asphalt", each revealing exotic diversity.
- Hubble now collaborates with NASA's new generation of observatories—Webb, TESS, and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope—to determine whether distant planets might harbor life.
- The joint NASA and ESA mission continues searching for planets potentially resembling Earth, with scientists looking ahead to discoveries waiting beyond the cosmic horizon.
