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...

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Captures a Spiral Galaxy With Multiple Starburst Regions
The Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled a stunning image of the spiral galaxy NGC 5248, also known as Caldwell 45, located 42 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Boötes. Known for its prominent spiral arms and intense star formation, NGC 5248 boasts two active nuclear rings, making it a fascinating subject for both professional and...

Hubble Space Telescope Finds Jupiter’s Great Red Spot Mysteriously Oscillating in Size and Speed
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured new images of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, revealing unusual behaviour in the massive storm. Known for its longevity, this storm has been raging for over 150 years. However, recent observations show the spot oscillating in both size and speed, a phenomenon that has left scientists puzzled.

NASA’s Hubble and New Horizons Collaborate for Uranus Observation, Shedding Light on Exoplanet Imaging
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the New Horizons spacecraft teamed up for a unique dual observation of Uranus, providing valuable insights into planetary atmospheres. Hubble captured high-resolution images, revealing atmospheric features, while New Horizons, 6.5 billion miles away, saw the planet as a small dot. This combined data helps researche...

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Captures a Stunning Spiral Galaxy 45 Million Light Years Away
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new image of the spiral galaxy IC 1954, located 45 million light-years away in the constellation Horologium. The improved view offers a detailed look at star-forming regions, showing pink patches that indicate hydrogen-rich areas where new stars are born. The image, created with data from the Hubble, James ...

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.

Mars Loses Water Faster When Closer to the Sun, New Hubble and MAVEN Study Shows
Mars loses water faster when it is closest to the Sun, according to new data from the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission. The rate of hydrogen loss in Mars' atmosphere increases significantly during perihelion, the point in its orbit closest to the Sun. This seasonal change has major implicati...
