This image features the spiral galaxy NGC 4951, located roughly 50 million light-years away from Earth.


In the vast expanse of the cosmos, where stars dance across the canvas of the universe, lies a captivating spectacle captured by the lens of the NASA Hubble Space Telescope. Behold NGC 4951, a celestial masterpiece nestled within the Virgo constellation, approximately 50 million light-years from Earth. In this cosmic ballet, bright, starry spiral arms envelop an active galactic center, offering a glimpse into the enigmatic workings of our cosmos.


NGC 4951 belongs to a distinguished class of galaxies known as Seyfert galaxies, characterized by their extraordinary energy emissions emanating from an active galactic nucleus (AGN). Unlike their counterparts, Seyfert galaxies retain their distinct galactic form, a testament to the unique interplay between the luminous nucleus and the surrounding cosmic expanse. At the heart of NGC 4951 resides a supermassive black hole, a cosmic behemoth whose gravitational grip shapes the destiny of its galactic host.


The radiant glow of NGC 4951 is a symphony of cosmic proportions, orchestrated by the relentless accretion of matter swirling into the voracious maw of the supermassive black hole. As this cosmic material cascades into oblivion, it unleashes a torrent of radiation spanning the entire electromagnetic spectrum, illuminating the cosmos with its luminous brilliance.


The unveiling of NGC 4951's secrets heralds a new chapter in our understanding of galactic evolution. Hubble's keen eye has delved into the heart of this Seyfert galaxy, providing astronomers with invaluable insights into the intricate dance of stars and the cosmic forces that shape their destiny. From the formation of dazzling spiral arms to the cataclysmic birth of stars, NGC 4951 offers a window into the cosmic tapestry of creation.


Hubble's pioneering mission has revolutionized our understanding of the universe, affirming the existence of supermassive black holes lurking at the cores of galaxies. Prior to its launch in 1990, these cosmic behemoths were but theoretical constructs, elusive shadows haunting the depths of our imagination. Through its lens, Hubble has unveiled the undeniable evidence of their existence, from the majestic jets of material erupting from their cores to the swirling disks of gas and dust orbiting at breakneck speeds.


The observations of NGC 4951 stand as a testament to Hubble's enduring legacy, illuminating the cosmic stage with newfound clarity and insight. As astronomers continue to unravel the mysteries of the universe, these observations serve as a cornerstone for future explorations, paving the way for the next generation of cosmic discoveries.


In the quest to unlock the secrets of the cosmos, NGC 4951 beckons us to peer into the depths of the universe, where stars are born and galaxies collide in a celestial ballet of epic proportions. With each observation, Hubble unravels the cosmic tapestry, revealing the hidden wonders that lie beyond the veil of space and time. As we journey into the depths of the cosmos, let us marvel at the beauty of NGC 4951 and the boundless mysteries that await our discovery.

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

By Surendra Uikey
  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.

By Surendra Uikey
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...
