James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Telescope captured some stunning images of the spiral Phantom Galaxy, aka Messier 74, located around 32 million light-years from Earth. What’s more intriguing is that the photos show the galaxy’s star-forming regions, dust, ...
If anybody is still so naive to think that NASA doesn’t need the Hubble telescope anymore as long as it has James Webb, they are so wrong! The good ol’ three-decades-old telescope is once again under the spotlight thanks to ...
We’re only a week away from the start of July 2022, and astronomy already has some exciting news for us. Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS), or you can simply call it K2, will pass by our planet and give us the ...
Astronomers believe that there are trillions of galaxies out there in the Universe, which means that we should never be surprised when a new one is discovered. Even so, nature never ceases to amaze us. According to space.com, the Hubble ...
NASA’s Hubble telescope has been diving deep into the Universe’s wonders for three decades now, and it still has a lot to prove. If you have already heard about the galaxy known as NGC 7172, it could mean that you’re ...
Many people thought that along with the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of NASA, the good old Hubble wouldn’t be needed anymore. But it seems that once again, astronomy is surprising in every possible way. Hubble is ...
Many of us will have very important and exciting stories to tell to our grandchildren regarding the exploration of space. The Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered many wonders of the Universe during over three decades of activity. If the term ...
The dwarf galaxy appears in a swirl of dazzling light and crimson colors in the new photograph. The small, oddly shaped galaxy has been dubbed a “cosmic oddity” by the European Space Agency (ESA). The ESA reported that the NGC ...
We’ve all been used by now to see extraordinary images photographed from space with advanced telescopes. Stars, galaxies, quasars, supernovae, nebulae, neutron stars, and more. But as for now, in 2021, very few such images can still leave us speechless. ...
It might sound incredible, but there are still a lot of people out there who believe that our world is not a sphere-shaped planet. Those conspiracy theorists firmly believe that NASA and all the other space agencies are lying to ...
Do you know how essential gravity is in the Universe? It acts as a peculiar ‘glue,’ that ties everything together strangely yet fascinating. We can also use gravity to spot distant cosmic features, an effect dubbed gravitational lensing predicted by ...
We may not know what dark matter really is, but a galaxy lacking this shadowy, invisible substance is quite odd. Recent Hubble data show that a galaxy as vast as the Milky Way has no spiral arms, no bright center, ...
Hubble is in trouble and NASA is now desperately trying to find a solution. How did this happen? A few days ago, Hubble’s payload computer just went offline. This device, aka the “brains”, is essential to the telescope’s science operations. ...
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are some super-intense radio wave pulses from the deep Universe that puzzled astronomers’ work for quite some time. The phenomenon is mysterious yet fascinating, and so far, we couldn’t tell much anything about them. The recent ...
The Hubble Space Telescope celebrates 31 years of work with a breathtaking photo. The Universe exhibition is something that fuels our imagination and leaves us with our jaws constantly dropped. Thanks to Hubble’s fantastic work, we came across many incredible ...
Neptune is again in the spotlight, thanks to an intriguing, but old discovery. Astronomers detected a few years ago a small vortex and dubbed it Dark Spot Jr, now nowhere to be found. The Sun’s eighth planet is known for ...
