Astronomers using the NASA Hubble Space Telescope have made an astonishing discovery of a never-before-seen celestial phenomenon. They observed a unique body in the asteroid belt, designated P/2013 P5, which displayed a set of six comet-like tails radiating from it. This peculiar asteroid was initially identified as an unusually fuzzy object by the Panoramic Survey […]

NASA’s Curiosity rover remained strong despite wear and tear during its 4,000-day journey to Mars.
NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover continues to make significant strides in its scientific exploration of the Martian landscape, even after 4,000 Martian days since it first touched down in Gale Crater on August 5, 2012. Recently, the rover completed its 39th sample collection by drilling into a rock known as “Sequoia” and transferring the pulverized […]
The most distant black hole revealed in collaboration with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Webb.
This remarkable image unveils the most distant black hole ever detected in X-rays, shedding light on the formation of some of the earliest supermassive black holes in the universe. The discovery is a result of a collaboration between NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the James Webb Space Telescope, with X-rays depicted in purple and […]
Hubble shows the planet Jupiter in a color combination of ultraviolet wavelengths in a new image.
The recently unveiled image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope offers a captivating view of the planet Jupiter in a composite of ultraviolet wavelengths, released to commemorate Jupiter’s opposition, an event when the planet and the Sun are positioned on opposite sides of the sky. This image of the gas giant showcases the famous “Great Red […]
Spiral galaxy NGC 1566 in the constellation Dorado as seen by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.
This image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope showcases the spiral galaxy NGC 1566, affectionately known as the ‘Spanish Dancer Galaxy.’ NGC 1566 belongs to the category of weakly-barred or intermediate spiral galaxies, characterized by the absence of a clearly defined bar-shaped structure at its center. Its nickname stems from the mesmerizing, vivid swirls […]
NASA’s Kepler telescope reveals seven-planet in new catalog of Kepler-385 system.
Through ongoing analysis of data from NASA’s now-retired Kepler space telescope, scientists have unveiled a remarkable system of seven scorching planets. These planets are bathed in an even more intense and radiant heat from their host star per unit area than any planet in our own solar system. What makes this discovery even more […]
NASA Webb’s NIRCam and MIRI reveal new details of the Crab Nebula in infrared light.
The James Webb Space Telescope, a remarkable observatory, has recently observed the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant situated 6,500 light-years away in the Taurus constellation. This celestial event was originally documented in 1054 CE by astronomers from the 11th century. Since then, the Crab Nebula has remained a subject of significant interest and continued scrutiny […]
Close-up of the Jovian moon Ganymede by the NASA Juno spacecraft.
This image of Ganymede, one of Jupiter’s moons, was taken by NASA’s Juno spacecraft using its JunoCam imager during a flyby on June 7, 2021. This flyby brought Juno closer to Ganymede than any other spacecraft had been in over two decades, at a distance of 645 miles (1,038 kilometers) from the moon’s surface. The […]
NASA’s X-ray telescope uncovers mystery “bones” of a ghostly cosmic hand.
In 1895, Wilhelm Röntgen made a groundbreaking discovery when he found X-rays, which he initially used to create images of his wife’s hand bones. This discovery marked the beginning of a revolutionary tool for medical diagnostics. Fast forward to the present day, two of NASA’s X-ray space telescopes have joined forces to reveal a fascinating […]
Webb has detected the presence of gamma-ray produced by the merger of stars.
Webb’s study of the second-brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed unveils a remarkable discovery involving the element tellurium. A dedicated team of scientists harnessed the power of several space and ground-based telescopes, including NASA’s cutting-edge James Webb Space Telescope, along with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. Together, they closely examined […]
