The NASA Hubble Space Telescope has captured the sharpest view yet of the most famous of all planetary nebulae: the Ring Nebula (M57). Ring Nebula, is about 2,000 light-years away, and is best ...

We've known the universe is expanding for a long time. The first solid paper demonstrating cosmic expansion was published by ...

NASA and ESA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a view of three stars lighting up a nebula. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope cracked a “glittering cosmic geode” in a new image of a triple-star ...

The new image on the left shows the nebula in the infrared, using observations from Hubble’s high-resolution Wide Field Camera 3. Credit: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team (AURA/STScI ...

For this, Freedman and her colleagues turned to archival Hubble telescope data, which captures the “dust depth,” but it’s not as high-resolution as Webb data. That added uncertainties in the ...

creating massive shockwaves that extend over 62 billion miles (100 billion kilometres) into space. These shockwaves form the nebula's distinctive spider-leg-like arcs.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has once again amazed astronomers with breathtaking images of the Red Spider Nebula, located 3,000 light-years away in Sagittarius. Featuring shockwaves and spider ...

Collisions between massive ionized hydrogen clouds, known as H-II regions, create high-mass stars, which can be seen in the new Hubble image. The large reddish clouds in the Hubble photo represent ...

The most recent precise measurements of the distances and movements of distant, exploding stars suggest a Hubble constant of 69.8 km/s/Mpc, but other reports have pushed the value as high as 74 ...

The Andromeda Galaxy, the Milky Way's closest galactic neighbor, glows brightly in a new Hubble Space Telescope image with swathes of ionized gas that fuel star formation. The rosy red structures ...

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 and has since produced high resolution images of space ... dust and took this image of the stars and nebula beyond. This allows scientists to ...

In this way, he obtained some of the first high-resolution pictures of prominent deep-sky objects such as the Pleiades (M45), ...
