Nestled within ancient star clusters, they shine bluer and brighter than their neighbours, looking far younger than their true age. Known as blue straggler stars, these stellar oddities have puzzled astronomers for more than 70 years. Now, new results using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope are finally revealing how these âforever youngâ stars come to be and why they thrive in quieter cosmic neighbourhoods.</div> 1970 </article> 1971 <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> 1972 </div> <!-- news-wrapper --> 1973 </a> 1974 </div> 1975 1976 <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> 1977 <a href="/news/heic2601/"> 1978 <div class="news-wrapper"> 1979 1980 <div class="news-image"> 1981 <img class="img-responsive" src="https://cdn.esahubble.org/archives/images/thumb350x/heic2601a.jpg" alt="pr.main_image.title"> 1982 </div> 1983 1984 <article class="news-description"> 1985 <div class="news-id">heic2601 â Science Release</div> 1986 <div class="news-title">Hubble examines Cloud-9, first of new type of object</div> 1987 <div class="news-teaser"><strong>5 January 2026</strong>: A team using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered a new type of astronomical object âa starless, gas-rich, dark-matter cloud that is considered a ârelicâ or remnant of early galaxy formation.

The study al
2085so found that the presence of the Large Magellanic Cloud can affect the trajectory of the Milky Way and make the collision less likely. The researchers emphasize that predicting the long-term future of galaxy interactions is highly uncertain, but the new findings challenge the previous consensus and suggest the fate of the Milky Way remains an open question.</div> 2086 </article> 2087 <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> 2088 </div> <!-- news-wrapper --> 2089 </a> 2090 </div> 2091 2092 <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> 2093 <a href="/news/heic2505/"> 2094 <div class="news-wrapper"> 2095 2096 <div class="news-image"> 2097 <img class="img-responsive" src="https://cdn.esahubble.org/archives/images/thumb350x/heic2505a.jpg" alt="pr.main_image.title"> 2098 </div> 2099 2100 <article class="news-description"> 2101 <div class="news-id">heic2505 â Photo Release</div> 2102 <div class="news-title">Hubble celebrates 35th year in orbit</div> 2103 <div class="news-teaser"><strong>23 April 2025</strong>: In celebration of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescopeâs 35 years in Earth orbit, an assortment of compelling images have been released today that were recently taken by Hubble.
