Two reports from 2019 show how galaxies are shaped.


Everything that exists in this universe has its own shape.The planet is almost spherical in shape, and galaxies are of many sizes, whether they were, or would have been, something like this when they were formed.

 A team of researchers from NASA discovered that every object in the galaxy, the planet and the universe, all of them are shaped by gravitational forces. According to research by Infrared Astronomy and the Stratospheric Observatory, magnetic fields play a strong role in shaping these galaxies. Enrique Lopez-Rodríguez, a University Space Research Association scientist at the SOFIA Science Center at NASA's Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, California, says magnetic fields are invisible, but they affect the evolution of a galaxy.

According to a new report, how magnetic causes galaxies to form, how galaxies generate magnetic fields. Using the Jansky Very Large Array Radio Telescope, a team of astronomers has detected for the first time a large-scale magnetic field in the halo of a large-scale galaxy, which confirms theoretical modeling, somehow galaxies are magnetic Generate a field.

Every object in the Universe that we see, how it all comes together, as Earth, Sun and planets, galaxies, somehow evolve, says Matthew Benaquista, a project director of the NSF's Division of Astronomical Sciences. The galaxy is an attempt to measure magnetic fields and learn how they affect, that interstellar gases are removed from the galaxy disk, and contribute to galaxy formation and evolution.

The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, and the spiral galaxy, identified as NGC 4631 or "whale galaxy", can be seen on the edge of the galaxy. Researchers analyzed the data, and they observed that the disk of its stars is in pink, and the field lines in green and blue, which extend beyond the disk into the expanded halo of the galaxy. Green represents, and indicates, fibers with magnetic fields, and the same blue indicates fibers with their own magnetic fields, a phenomenon similar to that observed earlier.

NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Reveals New Details of the Orion Nebula’s Star Formation.

  This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image captures the Orion Nebula (Messier 42, M42), the nearest star-forming region to Earth, located about 1,500 light-years away. A captivating new image captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope offers an extraordinary look into the Orion Nebula, the nearest massive star-forming region to Earth. Located just 1,500 light-years away, this nebula is visible to the naked eye below the three stars forming Orion's "belt." The region is home to hundreds of newborn stars, including two protostars featured in the image: HOPS 150 and HOPS 153. Named after the Herschel Orion Protostar Survey, conducted with ESA’s Herschel Space Observatory, the protostars HOPS 150 and HOPS 153 provide key insights into the early stages of star formation. HOPS 150, visible in the upper-right corner of the image, is a binary star system, with two young stars orbiting one another. These protostars are surrounded by small dusty disks, where material from th...

New Method Detects Small Asteroids in Main Belt, Offering Insight for Planetary Defense.

  An international team of physicists, led by MIT researchers, has developed a groundbreaking method to detect small asteroids, as small as 10 meters in diameter, within the main asteroid belt. These space rocks, ranging from the size of a bus to several stadiums wide, were previously undetectable using traditional methods. The team's discovery, detailed in a paper published in Nature, could significantly improve tracking of potential asteroid impactors, aiding planetary defense efforts. The main asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter, is home to millions of asteroids, but until now, scientists could only detect objects roughly a kilometer in diameter. The new detection technique, which utilizes the "shift and stack" method, is able to identify much smaller asteroids, even those far from Earth, enabling more precise orbital tracking. This breakthrough is crucial for planetary defense, allowing scientists to spot near-Earth objects that may pose a threat in the fu...

XSPECT Payload Successfully Validates Performance through Cas A Observation.

  The XSPECT instrument captures a detailed spectrum of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A), encompassing both the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) background and the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB). The flux observed above 8 keV predominantly results from the combined contributions of CXB and GCR. The presented spectrum, depicted in the figure, is derived from a cumulative integration time of 20 ksec, collected across multiple orbits, providing valuable insights into the X-ray emissions associated with Cas A. XPoSat, India's inaugural X-ray polarimetric mission, has achieved a significant as the XSPECT instrument captures its initial observations from the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant. Launched on January 1, 2024, XPoSat is equipped with two co-aligned instruments, namely the POLarimeter Instrument in X-rays (POLIX) and X-ray SPECtroscopy and Timing (XSPECT). This mission is designed to unravel the mysteries of cosmic X-ray sources. While POLIX focuses on examining X-ray po...
