Hubble Space Telescope has revealed the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) losing its gas halo due to a close encounter with the Milky Way. The LMC’s halo, now just 50,000 light-years wide, has been reduced by gravitational forces. Researchers highlight this as a key example of galactic interactions.
The collaboration between Hubble, James Webb, and ALMA marks a new era of space observation, as scientists continue to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos through detailed imagery and powerful data.
NASA never leaves an opportunity to amaze people. The space agency keeps sharing stunning pictures from the vast universe. Recently, they shared beautiful pictures of the triple-star system.
Despite the visual impression that the three galaxies on the right cluster are closely together, a closer look reveals a deceptive perspective. The LEDA galaxies, though appearing atop NGC 1356, are millions of light-years apart, their apparent proximity attributed to the observer's vantage point.
The forbidden emission lines should not exist according to certain rules of quantum physics. But quantum physics is complex, and some of the rules used to predict it were formulated under laboratory conditions here on Earth, the team explained.
Earlier, NASA's Lucy spacecraft on Wednesday (November 1) encountered the first of 10 asteroids on its long journey to Jupiter. The spacecraft swooped past the pint-sized Dinkinesh, about 300 million miles (480 million kilometers) away in the main asteroid belt beyond Mars.
The interacting galaxies are part of an effort to build up an archive of interesting targets for more detailed future study with Hubble, ground-based telescopes, and the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope.
The James Webb Space Telescope is the world’s largest, most powerful, and most complex space science telescope ever built. Webb’s image, taken by its MIRI instrument, features light from “polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons."
The Prawn Nebula is a massive stellar nursery located in the constellation Scorpius, about 6,000 light-years from Earth.
Hubble, which has been watching the universe over the past three decades, faced trouble with its payload computer on June 13.
NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have released a stunning image of a globular cluster captured by Hubble Space Telescope that features thousands of colourful stars packed close together.
Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have mapped the immense envelope of gas, called a halo, surrounding the Andromeda galaxy, our nearest large galactic neighbour. This tenuous, nearly invisible halo of diffuse plasma extends 1.3 million light-years from the galaxy -- about halfway to our Milky Way -- and as far as two million light-years in some directions, said the study published in The Astrophysical Journal.
NASA's Hubble telescope recently captured some mind-blowing images during summer in Saturn's northern hemisphere. In these latest snapshots, Saturn looks like a 'lord of rings'.
Hubble space telescope has captured the mesmerizing 'fluffy' galaxy called NGC 2775, which is located 67 million light-years. The spiral pattern shown by the galaxy in this image is striking because of its delicate, feathery nature.
The Hubble Space Telescope captured galaxy NGC 7513 speeding away from us at a rate of roughly 1,564 kilometers per second, or nearly 1,000 miles per second. This is because of the fact that the Universe is always expanding and it drives many objects in space farther away.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope on Thursday captured a fragile comet, C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS), disintegrate into more than two dozen pieces. Hubble identified about 30 fragments on April 20, and 25 pieces on April 23, NASA said on Tuesday, adding that all the pieces are enveloped in a sunlight-swept tail of cometary dust.
The Hubble Space Telescope, which is now celebrating 30 years of stunning discoveries, has yielded 1.4 million observations and provided data that astronomers around the world have used to write more than 17,000 peer-reviewed scientific publications
Hubble Space Telescope revealed the strongesr evidence for mid-sized black holes in the universe. Hubble has also confirmed that this "intermediate-mass" black hole dwells inside a dense star.
Astronomers, using the Hubble Space Telescope, have measured the precise rate at which the universe is expanding, by employing a technique completely independent of any previous method.
In fact, the minister was even trolled by his own country. Read on to find the most hilarious tweets in response to the minister's statement.
