Hubble Telescope Captures Stunning View of Orion Nebula’s Protostars
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning view of the Orion Nebula, located 1,500 light-years from Earth. The new image highlights protostars HOPS 150 and HOPS 153, which are playing a key role in shaping their environment. These young stars are still in the process of formation, with the nebula's gas and dust feeding their growth. HOPS 15...

Arecibo Observatory Data Helps SETI Uncover Secrets of Pulsar Signals and Cosmic Distortions
Data from the now-collapsed Arecibo Observatory continues to drive major discoveries in space science. Sofia Sheikh and her team from the SETI Institute utilised archived data to investigate the signals of pulsars—dense neutron stars emitting radiation like cosmic lighthouses. Their study focused on how these signals are distorted by interstellar...
