NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Reveals the Complex Structure of a Planetary Nebula
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled the complex character of NGC 1514, a planetary nebula developing over at least 4,000 years. Only seen in infrared light, the nebula's rings now resemble "fuzzy" clusters set in twisted patterns. A network of sharper holes near the centre stars indicates where faster material punched through.

Unexpected Rotational Motion Detected in Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies of Hydra Cluster
Astronomers studying ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the Hydra cluster have observed unexpected rotational movement in nearly half of the 30 galaxies examined. Spectroscopic data from the LEWIS programme, using the MUSE instrument on the Very Large Telescope, suggests that gravitational interactions with larger galaxies may influence their formati...

JWST Identifies Cooling Gas in Phoenix Cluster, Unlocking Star Formation Process
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected the missing cooling gas in the Phoenix Cluster, a galaxy cluster located 5.8 billion light-years away. Researchers used the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) to identify gas at around 540,000 degrees Fahrenheit trapped in cavities within the cluster. This discovery resolves a long-standing mystery of how sta...

NASA's Europa Clipper Launches to Explore Life Possibilities on Icy Moon Europa
NASA's Europa Clipper mission is set to launch soon, aiming to explore the icy moon Europa's potential for life. By examining the ocean beneath its ice shell, the spacecraft will gather data on the moon's surface materials and atmospheric conditions. With advanced instruments, the mission seeks to identify organic compounds, analyze gas and dust pa...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Captures Heart of Phantom Galaxy: Details
Researchers have used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) telescope to peer into the spectacular Phantom Galaxy, also known as M74. The galaxy is located around 32 million light-years away and could help us understand the origin and structure of galactic spirals.

NASA's Voyager 1 Space Probe Detects 'Persistent Hum' 14 Billion Miles From Earth
NASA's Voyager 1 probe has picked up an uncanny humming sound coming from space. Scientists now say instruments aboard the distant spacecraft have detected a “persistent hum” generated by the constant vibration of small amounts of gas in interstellar space.
