opo0018bw_140.jpg||OPO|Lost and Found: Hubble Finds Much of the Universe's Missing Hydrogen|Astronomers detected vast filaments of invisible hydrogen by using the light of a distant quasar (core of active galaxy) to probe the dark space between the galaxies. The Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph found the spectral "fingerprints" of highly ionized intervening oxygen (which is a tracer of the hydrogen) superimposed on the quasar's light. Slicing across billions of light-years of space, the quasar's brilliant beam penetrated at least four separate filaments of the invisible hydrogen laced with the telltale oxygen. This filamentary structure is throughout the universe, all the way out to the distance of the quasar. For simplification, this graphic isolates the filamentary structure to a specific location along the line of sight to the quasar.|opo0018|opo0018bw_orig.jpg|opo0018bw_450.jpg|opo0018bw_large.jpg|Interstellar Hydrogen|Quasar/AGN/Black Hole|2000|Todd Tripp, Edward Jenkins and Blair Savage|John Godfrey (STScI)|STIS|http://oposite.stsci.edu/pubinfo/pr/2000/18/content/0018b.txt|http://oposite.stsci.edu/pubinfo/pr/2000/18/index.html|

The unique pair is called NGC 3314. This line-up provides astronomers with the rare chance to see the dark material within the foreground galaxy, seen only because it is silhouetted against the light from the object behind it. NGC 3314 lies about 140 million light-years from Earth in the direction of the southern hemisphere constellation Hydra. This picture is one of many produced by the Hubble Heritage Program, created 1-1/2 years ago to publicly release some of the best celestial views taken by the telescope's visible-light camera. Now, the International Center of Photography in New York City has rewarded the program for its work with the annual Infinity Award for Applied Photography.|opo0014|opo0014_orig.tif|opo0014_450.jpg|opo0014_large.jpg||Galaxy|2000|Keith Noll, Howard Bond, Carol Christian, Jayanne English, Lisa Frattare, Forrest Hamilton and Zolt Levay|NASA and The Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)|WFPC2|http://oposite.stsci.edu/pubinfo/pr/2000/14/content/prc0014.txt|http://oposite.stsci.edu/pubinfo/pr/2000/14/index.html|

The Hubble Heritage Project is releasing this picture to commemorate the Hubble telescope's tenth anniversary. Glowing in the constellation Aquila, the nebula is a cloud of gas ejected several thousand years ago from the hot star visible in its center. Planetary nebulae have nothing to do with planets. They are shells of gas thrown off by Sun-like stars nearing the ends of their lives. The star's loss of its outer gaseous layers exposes the hot stellar core, whose strong ultraviolet radiation then causes the ejected gas to fluoresce as the planetary nebula. |opo0012|opo0012_orig.tif|opo0012_450.jpg|opo0012_large.jpg|NGC 6751|Nebula|2000|Arsen Hajian, Keith Noll, Howard Bond, Carol Christian, Jayanne English, Lisa Frattare, Forrest Hamilton and Zolt Levay|NASA, The Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA) |WFPC2|http://oposite.stsci.edu/pubinfo/pr/2000/12/content/prc0012.txt|http://oposite.stsci.edu/pubinfo/pr/2000/12/index.html|
