Photobombed! Asteroid sneaks into this Hubble Space Telescope image

[ad_1] An asteroid has been caught sneaking into a galaxy image by the Hubble Space telescope. Here is all you need to know. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has been capturing and sharing some amazing glimpses of space. Sharing one of Hubble's images, the European Space Agency (ESA) informed that the image has been photobombed by a host of astronomical objects, especially an asteroid. In the centre of the image, the vague shape of the small galaxy UGC 7983 appears as a hazy cloud of light and an asteroid can be seen as a row of four thin consecutive lines spreading from the left upper corner."A host of astronomical objects throng this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Background galaxies ranging from stately spirals to fuzzy ellipticals are strewn across the image, and bri...

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 15 January 2023: Hubble Telescope snaps spooky Crab Nebula

[ad_1] NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day for 15 January, 2023 is one of a spooky Crab Nebula image captured by the Hubble Telescope. NASA Astronomy picture of the day takes everyone into a fascinatingly different dimension of the cosmos on a daily basis. Today, it took an eerie turn with a an image of a Crab Nebula! “This is the mess that is left when a star explodes. The Crab Nebula, the result of a supernova seen in 1054 AD, is filled with mysterious filaments,” NASA explained about the images. The filaments in the image are not only tremendously complex, but appear to have less mass than expelled in the original supernova and a higher speed than expected from a free explosion.This image has been captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, while the surprising fact is that the Crab...

Hubble Space Telescope snaps a radiant image of barred spiral galaxy

[ad_1] Don't write off the Hubble Space Telescope as yet, the old faithful has just captured a beautiful barred galaxy. The James Webb Space Telescope may well be looking farther back in time than the old veteran Hubble Space Telescope ever could with its dated technology, but that is not stopping it from unveiling awesome new secrets out there in deep space. And yes, Bubble Telescope has done it again. Barred spiral galaxies are latecomers to the Universe. Many spiral galaxies have bars across their centers. A barred galaxy is easily distinguishable because of its well-defined central bar and long arms, which spiral loosely around its nucleus. As revealed by surveys, about two-thirds of spiral galaxies, including our own Milky Way galaxy, contain a bar. Recent studies have shown...
