Views from the Hubble Telescope

We have always wondered what is up there. For tens of thousands of years, we have charted objects in the night sky and speculated about the nature of the universe. But only very recently have we had the means to see far into the heavens. Now technology enables us to unravel some of the deeper mysteries of the cosmos.

Through manned and unmanned spacecraft and inventions like the Hubble Telescope, we have viewed such celestial phenomena as stellar birth and death galaxies' interactions, and planetary weather. We have found previously unknown solar systems. And we have received images from space that amaze us with their beauty and confound us with their nearly unimaginable distance and scale.

This screen saver presents twenty-seven NASA photographs selected by the Scientific American staff. Your computer screen makes a perfect window into deep space.

This software is easy to install on Mac- or PC-based systems, our screen savers can be set up to cycle continuously, changing images at any interval the user selects, or used as wallpaper. (That is: one image comes on at startup and stays put until a different one is selected.) Image sets can be customized so that the user need only see favorites. Detailed information (media, dimensions, date, etc.) for each image, and a concise biography of the artist, may be had at the click of a mouse.

Infrared View of Saturn, Comet Hyakutake, Mars, Butterfly Nebula, Great Balls of Fire, Tarantula Nebula, Turtle Nebula, Pistol Star, Glowing Eye Nebula, Life Cycle of Stars, Stingray Nebula, Galaxy Pipeline, Jupiter Aurora, Winds of Destruction, Circinus Galaxy, Spirograph Nebula, Merope Nebula, A Reflection Nebula, Galactic Silhouettes, Eskimo Nebula, Keyhole Nebula, NGC 2346, Dwarf Galaxy (M32), Ring Nebula, NGC 2440, Bubble Nebula, and Galaxy Encounter.
