Hubble Space Telescope Captures Enigmatic Bridge of Stars in Arp 295 Galaxy Group.

 


The Hubble Space Telescope unveils a image featuring a member of the galaxy group Arp 295. This celestial snapshot reveals one of the galaxies from Arp 295, accompanied by a portion of a delicate 250,000-light-year-long bridge of stars and gas extending between two galaxies. The formation of this cosmic bridge is a consequence of the gravitational interplay between the galaxies as they passed nearby.


Galaxies that experience gravitational disruptions in each other's shapes due to close passages are termed interacting galaxies. Such interactions unfold over vast timescales, and recurrent close encounters can ultimately lead to the merger of the galaxies involved. Galactic mergers are considered a common cosmic occurrence, with even our own Milky Way anticipated to merge with the neighboring Andromeda galaxy in approximately 4 billion years.


Arp 295, part of a galactic trio composed of Arp 295a, Arp 295b, and Arp 295c, showcases the intricate dance of cosmic forces. Arp 295a, depicted as an edge-on galaxy at the center of the image, is accompanied by Arp 295c, a smaller and bluer face-on spiral to its right. Arp 295b, located off the top left of the image, remains unseen in this snapshot. Together, these galaxies form the largest members of a loose galactic gathering situated about 270 million light-years away in the constellation Aquarius. The Hubble's keen eye captures not only the beauty of these cosmic interactions but also contributes to our understanding of the dynamic processes shaping the vast celestial landscapes.

In the triple-star system, KOI-5Ab is seen orbiting the primary star...

  KOI-5Ab continues to be a topic of discussion for researchers, as koi-5Ab has been seen orbiting the primary Star, confirming it has also been announced.  koi-5ab revolves around the primary star, it was thought to be a planet half the size of Saturn in a planetary system, and was the only other planet candidate to be detected by the KOI-5Ab mission. Kepler mission operations were initiated by NASA in 2009, by the end of spacecraft operations in 2018, the Kepler spacecraft had discovered 2,394 exoplanets, or planets orbiting stars beyond our sun, and about 2,366 exoplanets such  There are also those, which are still to be confirmed. David Ciardi, chief scientist at NASA's Exoplanet Science Institute, says the KOI-5AB was abandoned, because it was complicated, and we had thousands of candidates, and we were learning something new every day from Kepler, so that the KOI  Mostly forgot to -5. KOI-5Ab is part of the Triple Star system, where KOI-5 is a group of three st...

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope will be closed.

NASA briefly informed that the Spitzer Space Telescope will be permanently discontinued on January 30, 2020. After about 16 years of discovering the universe in light energy.  And by that time, the space shuttle has been working for more than 11 years beyond its prime mission, Spitzer examines the universe's various objects in infrared light.  It was in 2003 through the rocket that the American Space Research Organization NASA entered the space and entered the orbit around the Earth.  Spitzer rotates the sun on a path similar to that of the Earth but it runs a bit slower.  Today it is about 158 ​​million miles (254 million kilometers) away from our planet - more than 600 times the distance between Earth and Moon.  The spacing of Spitzer's orbit curve means that when the spacecraft indicates its fixed antenna on the earth to download data or receive commands, its solar panels tend to lean away from the sun.  During those periods, to operate the space shut...

SpaceX is launching its next dragon spacecraft.

SpaceX is preparing for its next mission, very soon Spacex will launch the Dragon Spacecraft with its Falcon 9 Rocket.   SpaceX is the 18th commercial reproduction service mission, dragon spacecraft will be loaded with dozens of experiments made in space.  Launch date: Sunday, July 21, 2019 at 7:35 pm  International Space Station (ISS) us  The National Laboratory SpaceX's dragon is giving a finalization to more than two dozen payloads for launch in a circular circular laboratory.  Many of these payloads are aimed at improving human health on the earth, many of which are focused on drug development.  In addition, a series of payloads from identified private sector partners will be launched on this mission.  More than 40 student experiments and demonstrations have been included on the 18th Commercial Recepti Services Mission (CRS-18) of SpaceX.  One part of ISS American National Laboratory's goal is to encourage and engage next generation scientists.                          ...
