VLT Captures Two Planets Forming Around the Star WISPIT 2
Astronomers have identified two accreting giant planets embedded within the protoplanetary disk surrounding the young star WISPIT 2 using high-contrast imaging and long-baseline interferometry at…
Hubble Photographs 25 Years of Expansion in the Crab Nebula
For nearly a thousand years, the Crab Nebula has expanded slowly across space. Astronomers have studied it for centuries. Yet very recently, we can clearly…
Very Large Telescope Captures a Close-up of the Triangulum Galaxy
A new spectroscopic view of the nearby spiral galaxy Messier 33 (Triangulum Galaxy) shows how modern integral-field instruments transform galaxy imaging into quantitative physical mapping….
DECam Photographs One of the Oldest Stars in the Universe
Astronomers investigating the earliest phases of chemical enrichment in nearby dwarf galaxies have identified one of the most ancient stars known beyond the Milky Way….
Hubble and JWST Reveal the Core of the Pinwheel Galaxy
Astronomers continue to revisit nearby galaxies with modern instruments to understand how stars, gas, and dust shape galactic evolution. One of the latest examples focuses…
