Overview
Hubblecast
Welcome to the Hubblecast! Hubblecast features news and Images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
Hubblecast is the name for Vodcasts produced by the ESA/Hubble team.
Doctor J a.k.a. Dr. Joe Liske is the young enthusiastic host of the Hubblecast. He is a German astronomer at the European Organization for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere (ESO). His scientific interests are in cosmology, particularly on galaxy evolution and quasars. Dr. J's real name is Joe Liske and he has a PhD in astronomy.

 | | Episode 9 - Extreme star cluster bursts into life!
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a spectacular image of NGC 3603, a giant nebula hosting one of the most prominent massive young clusters in the Milky Way. This is a splendid location for continued studies of stellar birth in star forming regions.

 | | Episode 8 - A step closer to our origin
By scrutinising the Hubble Ultra Deep field - the deepest image of the sky ever made - the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and the NASA Spitzer Space Telescope have joined forces to discover nine of the smallest, faintest, most compact galaxies ever observed in the distant Universe.

 | | Episode 7 - Uncovering the Veil Nebula
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered magnificent sections of the Veil Nebula – the shattered remains of a supernova that exploded some 5-10,000 years ago. The new Hubble images provide beautiful views of the delicate, wispy structure resulting from this cosmic explosion.

 | | Episode 6 - Telescopes in space and on the ground
Have you ever wondered why some telescopes are launched into space while others are built on remote mountain tops? What is actually the best for astronomy? Here we provide a ringside view of the fight for the elusive photons from deep space - is it a battle of the telescope giants?

 | | Episode 5 - Hubble discovers ring of dark matter
An international team of astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a ghostly ring of dark matter formed long ago during a colossal collision between two galaxy clusters. This is the first time that dark matter has been found with a distribution that differs substantially from the distribution of ordinary matter.

 | | Episode 4 - Multiple star generations in a globular cluster
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of a dense swarm of stars shows the central region of the globular cluster NGC 2808. Of the 150 known globular clusters in the Milky Way, NGC 2808 is one of the largest. The Hubble measurements with its Advanced Camera for Surveys showed three distinct populations of stars in the cluster, contrary to contemporary ideas.

 | | Episode 2 - Barred spiral galaxy
Hubble has delivered an unrivalled snapshot of the nearby barred spiral galaxy NGC 1672. This remarkable image provides a high-definition view of the galaxy’s large bar, its fields of star-forming clouds and its dark bands of interstellar dust.

 | | Episode 1 - The Comet galaxy
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, in collaboration with several other ground- and space-based telescopes, has captured a galaxy being ripped apart by a galaxy cluster’s gravitational field and harsh environment. The finding sheds light on the mysterious process by which gas-rich spiral-shaped galaxies might evolve into gas-poor irregular- or elliptical-shaped galaxies over billions of years.
