The images let scientists for the first time determine the structure of the clouds of dust and gas from which stars and planets form at a high level of detail. The images are in galaxies beyond the Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud. Those two galaxies are near the Milky Way...
Deep, Detailed Images of Distant Planets Taken by Area TelescopeAstronomers on an "exoplanet hunt" have taken the deepest imagesever of four planets around a...Beal, Tom
We explore some of the best Hubble Space Telescope images of all time including nebulas, galaxies, planets and more!
Telescope, device used to form magnified images of distant objects. The telescope is undoubtedly the most important investigative tool in astronomy. It provides a means of collecting and analyzing radiation from celestial objects, even those in the far r
The investigation of Eps Ind Ab could help astronomers better understand the evolution of gas giant planets and their systems. This is the first time that the powerful space telescope has been able to image an exoplanet that wasn't previously imaged from the ground. Eps Ind Ab is also the ...
Zhao said minor planets' trajectories could be changed by stellar attraction from planets such as Mars. Continuous observation is needed to keep track of any changes. "With the help of our images, astronomers across the globe have a more accurate moving trajectory of the asteroid," he said. ...
Armed with a computer and an Internet connection, you can channel the top telescopes in the world and spot supernovae, exoplanets and distant galaxies through the lenses of the pros.
James Webb telescope can take detailed photos of our own solar system’s planets and moons NASA reveals more stunning images from James Webb telescope NASA has unveiled the first batch of full-color images that the James Webb Space Telescope has sent back to Earth. NASA, the Euro...
A set of protoplanetary disks in the Orion Nebula. The largest is bigger than our solar system, and contains a newborn stars. It's possible that planets are forming there, too.NASA/ESA/STScI Astronomers suspect that our Sun was born in a cloud of gas and dust similar to this one about...
Together with "companion clouds," dark vortices were first discovered in 1989 in high-resolution images of Neptune from Voyager 2, a space probe launched by NASA in 1977 to study the outer planets. Bright clouds were again seen on Neptune starting in July 2015. Observers wondered whether these...
