The subject of this image from the Hubble telescope is a group of three galaxies, collectively known as NGC 7764A. They were imaged by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, using both its Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camera 3. The two galaxies in the upper right of the image appear to be interacting with one another. ...
The lazily winding spiral arms of the spectacular NGC 976 galaxy fill the frame of this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This spiral galaxy lies around 150 million light-years from the Milky Way in the constellation Aries. Supernova explosion in the NGC 976 galaxy Despite its tranquil appearance, the NGC 976 galaxy has played ...
Throughout Earth’s long history, many asteroids or meteorites have crashed into the Earth and some of these incidents are often linked with the eradication of certain animal species from the planet. Sometimes, such celestial objects only scrape past the planet by a small margin. Thus, NASA wants to test its asteroid defense system. With advancements ...
On April 28, 2021, at 0933 UT (3:33 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time), NASA’s Parker Solar Probe reached the Sun’s extended solar atmosphere, known as the corona, and spent five hours there. The spacecraft is the first to enter the outer boundaries of our Sun. The results, published in Physical Review Letters, were announced at a press conference ...
More than half of the Sun-like star systems surveyed in the Milky Way harbor a mysterious type of planet unlike any in our own solar system that the James Webb Space Telescope will be able to shine some light on. Larger than Earth, smaller than Neptune, and orbiting closer to their stars than Mercury orbits ...
This jewel-bright image taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features the spiral galaxy NGC 2903. The telescope captured this image using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), installed in 2002 and 2009 respectively. Interestingly, it observed this particular galaxy in 2001, before the ACS and the WFC3 were installed. ...
When we look at the world today, we can’t help but feel proud of mankind’s development. Science and technology have brought us many wonderful things. But in spite of all that, there remain mysteries that science cannot explain. A child prodigy An American resident Akiane Kramarik is notably a child prodigy in the field of ...
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features two interacting galaxies that are so intertwined that have a collective name — Arp 91. Their delicate galactic dance takes place more than 100 million light-years from Earth. The two galaxies comprising Arp 91 have their own names: The lower galaxy, which looks like a bright spot, is ...
Since the Perseverance rover landed in Jezero Crater on Mars in February, the rover and its team of scientists back on Earth have been hard at work exploring the floor of the Jezero Crater that once held an ancient lake. Perseverance and the Mars 2020 mission are looking for signs of ancient life on Mars ...
Astronomers have seen some pretty weird things scattered across our vast universe, from exploding stars to colliding galaxies. So you’d think that when they see a strange celestial object, they would be able to identify it. However, this double galaxy stumped them for years. But NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope uncovered what appears to be a ...
