Is it possible to take photos from Hubble for commercial use?

Question

Copyright

I want to use Hubble photos for my game. What license are they under?
I found information about copyright on their website: hubblesite.org/about_us/copyright.php
But there is not enough knowledge to translate the information correctly.

Answer 1

IANAL.
And what is there to translate. It says that the images, the source of which is specified by STScI, are in the public domain , and the rest - specify.
In addition (there is no link about this) I can tell you that photographs from Hubble may belong not to the North American, but to the European Space Agency ( http://www.spacetelescope.org ), those taken before 2009 are also in the public domain, and later - under the free CC -BY license .
