Hubble Telescope Finds Unexpectedly Hot Accretion Disk in FU Orionis
Hubble Space Telescope’s recent observations of FU Orionis have revealed surprising new details about the star’s accretion disk. The study found that the disk’s inner edge reaches temperatures as high as 16,000K, nearly three times hotter than the Sun’s surface. This discovery challenges existing models of stellar accretion, which had predi...

James Webb Space Telescope Finds First Evidence of Einstein Zig-Zag Phenomenon In a Distant Quasar
Data from the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed the first-ever Einstein zig-zag, where light from quasar J1721+8842 bends through two distinct warped space-time regions. Six mirrored images of the quasar and a faint Einstein ring confirm this rare lensing effect. Scientists believe this discovery could help resolve critical issues in cosmolog...

Hubble Telescope Reveals Milky Way Blowing Gas off LMC Galaxy in Close Encounter
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured an extraordinary phenomenon as the Milky Way galaxy exerts ram pressure on the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), stripping away most of its gas halo. The interaction, which occurs as LMC passes near the Milky Way, has led to the loss of significant mass from the dwarf galaxy. Despite this, LMC retains enough...

Hubble Telescope Captures Image of Merging Galaxies in Coma Cluster, 390 Million Light-Years Away
NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have shared an image of two galaxies, MCG+05-31-045, interacting within the Coma Cluster. Located 390 million light-years away, the pair is in the midst of a cosmic merger. As the smaller galaxy is pulled into the larger one, a new wave of star formation is expected. Over time, the galaxies will likely evolv...

NASA’s Hubble Reveals Impact of Milky Way’s Gravitational Force on Large Magellanic Cloud
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope recently observed the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) interacting with the Milky Way’s halo. Researchers found that the LMC’s gas halo has been significantly reduced, likely due to ram-pressure stripping. Despite this, the LMC retains enough gas to continue star formation. Future studies will focus on exploring othe...

NASA's Webb and Hubble Capture Spooky, ‘Blood-Soaked Eyes’ Galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207
NASA's Hubble and James Webb telescopes have captured the breathtaking merger of galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207, located 80 million light-years away. This captivating process, described as a “blood-soaked” cosmic dance, showcases the ongoing star formation occurring between the galaxies as they interact. With an impressive rate of star birth and...

Hubble Space Telescope Unveils IC 3225, the Cannonball Galaxy in Virgo
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a remarkable image of the spiral galaxy IC 3225, which resembles a cannonball moving through space. Located approximately 100 million light-years away in the Virgo galaxy cluster, IC 3225 exhibits distinct features, including a bright, star-forming arm and a tail of gas. The galaxy's unusual shape results fro...

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Finds a High Number of Black Holes in the Early Universe
An international team of researchers, led by scientists from Stockholm University's Department of Astronomy, has discovered a higher number of black holes in the early universe than was previously recorded. Using the NASA Hubble Space Telescope, this team found black holes among faint galaxies formed shortly after the Big Bang event.
