An international team of astronomers has recently made an exciting discovery using the Hubble Space Telescope. Led by researchers at the Cosmic Dawn Center in Copenhagen, the team has found and investigated a galaxy from almost 11 billion years ago.
What’s also special about the discovery is that the team didn’t discover it by the light it emits, which would be typical. Nope, this one was discovered by the light it absorbs.
If you were to describe the photo that the Hubble Space Telescope recently captured of Eta Carinae, “breathtaking” might be an understatement. It’s not only that the photo itself grabbed my attention as soon as I looked at it, but also its subject is something quite extraordinary. The thing is – Eta Carinae is about to explode. Its mass, roughly a hundred times that of our Sun, makes it a prime candidate for a supernova explosion.
After the first couple of batches of SpaxeX’s Starlink satellites were launched, astronomers got concerned: how would the satellites’ light affect the night sky? Their concerns soon proved to be justified, as the light streaks started to ruin observations of the night sky.
But researchers at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) have now come up with a solution. They’ve developed a tool that identifies the distinctive trails that satellites leave in Hubble photos. Thanks to this, space observations will be free from interfering light streaks not only from Starlink but from any artificial satellites out there.
Hubble Space Telescope was sent into orbit around Earth on April 25, 1990. Even though it got a younger and more powerful brother, James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble’ still going strong and taking magnificent photos.
To celebrate Hubble’s 33rd anniversary, NASA and ESA have released a stunning photo of a star-forming region called NGC 1333. It’s one of those photos that, the more you look, the more details you spot and enjoy.
While NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope showed us some previously unknown details of the Southern Ring Nebula, Hubble is still alive and kicking, and the photos it takes are still magnificent. Paired with great processing, they truly show the beauty and marvel of the universe, and NASA’s recent Astronomy Picture of the Day shows the Southern Ring Nebula in captivating colors.
Even though James Webb stole the show, Hubble’s still up and running and still treating us with marvelous photos. It recently took an absolutely gorgeous image inside the Orion Nebula, detecting two young stars that are quite unsteady in temperament… Almost like human teenagers.
The holiday season is here, and all those good, old Christmas songs are probably already on your playlist. But why not spice it up with something new this year? Something you haven’t heard before, and it’s both festive as Jingle Bells, and a bit eerie like Carol of the Bells.
I have just the song for you. NASA has released the sonification of the giant RS Puppis star, bringing together music and space photography in a festive piece of music made of stars. Literally.
Photographing ink as it transforms and “dances” in water was one of my first “experiments” when I started doing photography. And to this day, I love photos like this and can’t get enough of them.
In more recent years, I got interested in astrophotography, both from the ground and from the orbit. And the latest Hubble photo somehow merged the “ink in water” look with space photography. The telescope’s close-up shot of Lagoon Nebula is like a space version of dissolved ink, and it’s as mesmerizing as it can be.
NASA recently released a stunning Hubble photo of remnants of a massive supernova. While the image seems way more peaceful than real fireworks, this colorful cloud is actually a result of something… well, far less peaceful. What is now a cloud of intricate filaments used to be a star in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy to the Milky Way.
Last week, James Webb Space Telescope treated us with a magical “hourglass” of a new star formation. But good ol’ Hubble beats a new record, capturing the birth of a new star at its very earliest stage.
This dreamy, ethereal image shows a small and dense cloud of gas and dust in the constellation Serpens, called CB 130-3. Such dense cores are the birthplaces of stars, so we’re definitely looking at something extraordinary here.
