For the first time, scientists used the joint power of NASA’s Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes to study some of the most far-flung bodies in our solar system, Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs). Some of these are the smallest and faintest ever directly seen. The researchers unexpectedly found fewer small TNOs than they expected, and that […]
The Hubble Space Telescope has spotted a spectacular ‘super bubble’ in our Milky Way’s nearest neighbor the Large Magellanic Cloud. Check out our space photo of the day.
This Hubble Space Telescope image features a sprawling cosmic vista called N44.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope observes a giant, evolving, 10-sided atmospheric wave encircling Saturn’s south pole.
On a morning train commute, this former scientist found a stellar surprise in an old Hubble image.
New Hubble data shows definitive evidence of a dwarf galaxy merging with the young Milky Way in the earliest phases of its evolution.
Since their discovery by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope in 2022, little red dots (LRDs) have been the subject of great interest to astronomers. Understanding the nature of these extremely distant, compact red sources has been a puzzling scientific endeavor. One popular theory is that little red dots are supermassive black holes known as active […]
NASA’s Hubble finds that star formation in the Andromeda galaxy has undergone a 500-million-year decline.
This Hubble image features spiral galaxy NGC 4654, located 72 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo (the Maiden).
Using Hubble, astronomers have discovered that the only known “helium nova” in the Milky Way is riddling our galaxy with cosmic bullets travelling at 20 million mph.
