The Hubble Space Telescope has captured the remnant of supernova DEM L 190, in a neighboring galaxy, 160,000 light-years from Earth. Also called LMC N49, the supernova is the brightest supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way, and is located in the constellation of Dorado. In an image … Read more
Here are four iconic images taken by the James-Webb Telescope boosted with Chandra’s X-ray vision. One has eyes to see in infrared, the other in X-rays. The first, the very recent James-Webbreveals to us as never before the dark and cold matter, rich and fertile, which frame the galaxies, and the second, Chandrahas been enlightening … Read more
The US space agency, NASA, announced last Thursday that it will study with SpaceX the feasibility of entrusting the company owned by Elon Musk with the task of raising the Hubble Space Telescope to a higher orbit in order to extend its life. A slow regression is recorded in the orbit of the famous telescope, … Read more
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are the two closest galaxies to the Milky Way. And when they were gravitated toward our galaxy, billions of years ago, as they orbited each other, they tore apart, leaving trails of gaseous debris behind, RT reported. These dwarf galaxies are still intact and undergoing active star formation, which … Read more
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has observed stars and gases rising toward the core of a strangely shaped huge stellar nursery in the nearby Small Magellanic Cloud, RT reported. Astronomers believe that the outer arm of this spiral of stars and gas could provide a river-like flow of gas that fuels star formation in the stellar … Read more
The majority of the thousands of galaxies we’ve discovered in the universe fit into relatively well-defined categories: spiral galaxies like our Milky Way, tall, thin elliptical galaxies, and lenticular galaxies that lie somewhat midway between the two. But some galaxies are anomalies that do not fit into these clear shapes, and those are called irregular … Read more
With the James Webb Telescope launched, the amazing machine has taken center stage in space exploration. However, there is still another observatory that captures impressive images of outer space: the NASA Hubble. Launched in April 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope had some difficulty getting it to work. But after a major repair job, while in … Read more
The space telescope Hubble, managed by NASA and ESA scientists (European space agency) has competition with the arrival of the James Webb. But that does not mean that it is no longer useful for exploring the depths of the cosmos. On the contrary, perhaps it can detect stellar events in distant regions that can later … Read more
