The combination of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)’s infrared vision and the Hubble Space Telescope’s visible-light observations has created a vivid panorama of the Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster, officially named MACS0416. Located 4.3 billion light-years away, this vibrant cluster of galaxies is adorned with flickering “Christmas lights” – 14...
NASA’s ten billion dollar James Webb Space Telescope is likely to illuminate the secrets at the center of the Milky Way, providing answers to longstanding astronomical mysteries. Over 100 astronomers from around the world have recently called for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to conduct a comprehensive survey of...
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient (LFBOT), an unprecedented burst of light in the vast emptiness between galaxies over 3 billion light-years away. LFBOTs are enigmatic events, emitting intense blue light and vanishing within days, unlike the gradual fading of supernovae which take weeks...
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, the most advanced space-observing machine to date, has once again provided us with a stunning image of a young star, known as Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211), emitting supersonic jets of matter.
Situated in the galaxy IC 1776, nestled within the Pisces constellation and 150 million light-years away from Earth, this image offers a new insight on a distant, irregularly-shaped spiral galaxy.
NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, initially designed to study gamma-ray bursts, has discovered the repeated, partial tidal disruption of a Sun-like star by a massive black hole named Swift J0230. The object signifies a dawn of a fresh era in Swift’s scientific exploration, enabled by an innovative approach to interpreting...
Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3 instrument has recently captured a radiant stellar nursery, revealing the presence of OH 339.88-1.26, a massive protostar shrouded behind dust and gas-laden clouds, situated approximately 8,900 light-years away in the Ara constellation.
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has surprised astronomers again by sending them another mesmerizing image of a small irregular galaxy ESO 300-16, located 28.7 million light-years away in the Eridanus constellation.
Scientists, using data from the NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), have confirmed the discovery of one of the earliest galaxies ever observed, known as ‘Maisie’s Galaxy.’ By capturing the light from a prehistoric galaxy, located in one of the darkest corners of the past – around 13.4 billion light-years...
