Hubble Space Telescope
NEW images from the Hubble Telescope show a distant galaxy being DESTROYED from within by a supermassive black hole. Stunning pictures from NASA’s telescope show a galaxy located some 150 million lig…
The cavities shown in the image (below) of galaxy cluster MS0735 were created by jets of charged particles ejected at nearly light speed from a supermassive black hole weighing nearly a billion times…
NASA is beginning to design its next big astrophysics mission, a space telescope that will provide the largest picture of the universe ever seen with the same depth and clarity as the Hubble Space Te…
A potentially habitable world, termed Ross 128 b, has been discovered just 11 light years away. It is roughly Earth-sized and orbits its parent star once every 9.9 days. Astronomers calculate that it…
The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) has detailed the 13 proposals that will comprise the initial set of scientific observations carried out using the highly anticipated James Webb Space Tel…
“The Ganymede Ocean is believed to contain more water than Europa's,” says Olivier Witasse, a project scientist working on ESA’s future Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE). “Six times more water in…
When scientists looked at a cluster of ancient stars, they noticed a few that appeared younger than the rest. These stars are the same age as the others, yet they look younger. Like a vampire, these …
It turns out the observable universe has at least 10 times more galaxies than the mid 1990s Hubble Deep Field images count of about 100 to 200 billion. The development of more advanced space telescop…
NASA is calling it the most exciting image ever taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the extremely comprehensive. It has to be one of the most extraordinary. But the image, the remarkable p…
NASA Perhaps the most exciting exoplanet discovery to date was announced earlier this year when researchers using multiple telescopes confirmed that there are seven Earth-sized planets orbiting a sta…

How do galaxies form and grow? The theory behind it is simple and straightforward. You start with a collection of normal-and-dark matter, the normal matter collects in the center, pancakes, and forms…
By pushing the Hubble Space Telescope to its extreme limits astronomers have crushed the cosmic distance record by calculating the distanceto the most distant galaxy ever seen in the Cosmos . This ga…
Hubble Space Telescope has taken thousands of photos but one stands out as the shot that transformed astronomy forever. It’s called the 1995 Hubble Deep Field , it shows thousands of galaxies in a si…
The coalesce of galaxies (mergers) is one of the most significant phenomenon in the cosmos. They determine how the galaxies established and developed. By scrutinizing these mergers, we can discover a…
Jupiter is putting on quite a show — with both sound and light. A new Hubble image shows a stunning light show, capturing an aurora display on the largest planet in our solar system (see above…
Tweet By NASA 1-28-16 Hubble Space Telescope astronomers are finding that the old adage “what goes up must come down” even applies to an immense cloud of hydrogen gas outside our Milky Way ga…
