Managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory through launch, Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) recently unveiled a significant discovery. Scientists were astonished when NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope focused on a group…
This image by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) shows different structural details of the Crab Nebula. The supernova remnant comprises several components, including…
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the globular cluster NGC 2005. Located about 750 light-years from the center of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), this cluster provides unique insights…
A NASA Hubble Space Telescope image of a region of the Great Nebula in Orion, one of the closest areas of recent star formation, offers a glimpse into cosmic creation.…
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, seen in this animation based on Voyager 1 and Hubble images, has swirled for hundreds of years, exemplifying how large-scale patterns and organization can arise from…
In 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope captured a breathtaking image of the spiral galaxy NGC 4414, marking a significant achievement in the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project on the Extragalactic…
The specks in this image are from charged particles of a solar storm hitting Curiosity's camera, as it captures dust devils and wind gusts on Mars. Curiosity's navigation camera captured…
During the week of May 8 – 15, 2024, the active region AR13664 on the Sun unleashed numerous X-class and M-class flares, accompanied by Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) on May…
Westerlund 1, the largest and closest super star cluster to Earth, is offering astronomers a deeper understanding of star formation thanks to new data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The…
June 9, 2024— Researchers have made significant strides in understanding solar phenomena by capturing the first direct images of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave mode conversion near a 3D magnetic null point…
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a breathtaking image of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 3059, located approximately 57 million light-years from Earth. This observation was part of an…
This infographic compares three classes of stars in our galaxy: Sunlike G stars, less massive and cooler K dwarfs, and even fainter, cooler reddish M dwarfs. The habitable zone varies…
Gravitational wave astronomy has been one of the most exciting developments in recent years, ever since the LIGO consortium officially detected the first gravitational wave (GW) in 2016. This groundbreaking…
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured images of two solar flares—seen as bright flashes near the center—on June 1. These images show extreme ultraviolet light, highlighting the hot material in flares,…
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare – seen as the bright flash on the left – on May 31, 2024. The image displays a subset…
