Hubble Legacy Archive Help Center

Close × 2025 June 13: The HLA cart and HLA footprint viewer no longer work. Minimal maintenance is being done on the HLA interface because all HLA functionality and data products will soon be available in the new MAST Hubble search interface. At that point, the HLA interface will be retired. Note that the HLA products will still be available.

Click on data links to immediately download data. If you need footprints, we recommend using the MAST Portal. Note that both the Portal and the new search interface also provide access to the Hubble Advanced Products (HAP), which include HLA-style products for more recent observations. The HLA contains no observations acquired after 2017 October 1.

The Hubble Legacy Archive Help Center is a portal of information, tips, exploration and support, encouraging the optimal HLA experience.
