Hubble Telescope Captures NGC 4536, a Starburst Galaxy with Intense Star Formation
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a striking image of NGC 4536, a starburst galaxy 50 million light-years away in the Virgo constellation. The galaxy’s sweeping spiral arms are filled with young blue star clusters and ionized hydrogen gas, indicating rapid star formation. Astronomers believe its bar-like structure channels gas toward t...

Astronomers Discover A Massive Distant Spiral Galaxy from the Early Universe
Astronomers, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), have identified Zhúlóng, a massive spiral galaxy with a redshift of 5.2. This discovery places the galaxy in a time when the universe was under a billion years old, providing critical insights into early galactic formation. Zhúlóng, named after a mythical Chinese dragon, spans 62,000 lig...

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 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 ...
