Video Thumbnail text: Hubble's Inside the Image: Herbig-Haro Jet HH24. Background image holds clouds of yellow, white, gold, grey, and black. A bright jet of material runs appears to emerge from a bright cloud near image center. It runs from the cloud to the upper left and the lower right. NASA meatball logo is in the upper-right corner.
The Pillars of Creation visualization that uses data from NASA's Hubble and Webb space telescopes. Astronomers and artists modeled the iconic Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula (Messier 16 or M16) in three dimensions, creating a movie that allows viewers to fly past and among the pillars.

Sonifications

Ever wonder what the music of the spheres would sound like? Hubble brings us cosmic sights, but these astronomical marvels can also be experienced with other senses. Through data sonification, the same digital data that is translated into images is transformed into sound.

Full cover image of the Hubble Focus: Dark Universe e-book. Black background with a galaxy cluster that is superimposed with a blue-white haze that indicates the location of dark matter. Top of the image holds the phrase, "Hubble Focus." The "o" in focus is Hubble as we look down the tube of the telescope.
“Hubble Focus: The Dark Universe” highlights the mission’s recent discoveries about two mysterious components of our universe, dark energy — an unexplained cosmic pressure that’s speeding up the universe’s expansion — and dark matter, an invisible substance detectable only by seeing how it gravitationally influences visible matter.
